In plain English

The Metropolitan Police Service is looking for suppliers to provide horse feed, hay, bedding and stable supplies for their mounted branch. This is a three-year contract (potentially extended to five years) split into three separate lots, and you can bid for one, two or all three.

What the buyer wants

• Supply and deliver high-quality forage (hay and haylage) that is free from mould, contamination and foreign bodies, with reliable delivery to three London locations • Supply equine feed, supplements and nutritional products (including balancers, sugar beet, chaff, oils, minerals and electrolytes) from traceable, quality-assured supply chains • Supply equine bedding (wood shavings, paper bedding) and stable care products, equipment and consumables suitable for horse welfare and day-to-day operations

Lots

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract requires established supply chains, quality certifications, and the ability to deliver reliably to multiple London locations, which will exclude most one-person or very small operations without existing feed/forage distribution networks or relevant industry accreditations.

Always check the tender documents.
