## Summary

The Scottish Police Authority recently completed a procurement process for the Mounted Unit of Police Scotland, titled "Requirements for Mounted Unit, Police Scotland." This procurement, classified under goods in the public order and safety industry, is situated in Glasgow, UK. It utilised a selective procurement method, specifically a competitive procedure with negotiation, and encompasses several lots for items including horse riding clothing, rugs, saddlery, safety equipment, and grooming supplies. The contract awards were signed on 16 August 2021, with an overall value of £245,000 encompassing various deadlines, including a tender submission end date and project extension options.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the equestrian supply sector, providing a platform for suppliers who specialise in mounted police gear including clothing, safety equipment, and stable supplies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the relevant industries may find a competitive edge, particularly those focused on product sustainability and quality, as the awarding criteria heavily weigh these factors. Additionally, businesses capable of meeting electronic submission requirements and who proactively engage with community benefit proposals are more likely to succeed in this competitive environment.
