## Summary

The City of London Corporation bought feed, bedding, hay and other essential equine supplies for its police horses. The requirement covers horses based at Bushy Park and accommodation in central London. The supplies support the day-to-day care and operation of the police horse unit. The procurement is categorised as a service connected with horse riding and equine activities, although the described requirement is for physical horse-care supplies. Businesses relevant to this requirement include equine merchants, agricultural suppliers and specialist providers of horse feed, bedding and hay able to serve operational horse facilities in London and the surrounding area. The buyer is the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London.

The procurement has been completed and awarded without competition as a below-threshold direct award. Frosburys Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 19 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 20 July 2027. Its gross value is £48,000. The award covers a single lot and is recorded as active, as is the contract. The stated legal basis is the Procurement Act 2023. The published procurement information does not set out weighted evaluation criteria because the contract was awarded directly without competition. This outcome shows the buyer’s chosen route for obtaining the requirement: a below-threshold direct contract with one supplier rather than an open tender.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a recurring operational requirement for equine feed, bedding, hay and related supplies from the City of London Corporation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide consistent-quality horse-care products and dependable delivery to police horse facilities at Bushy Park and in central London. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that the requirement can suit an established equine or agricultural supplier with sufficient stock, purchasing capacity and distribution capability. Experience supplying working or institutional horse operations would help demonstrate reliability, product knowledge and the ability to maintain regular supply across multiple London locations.
