The Council cannot be specific about the number of horses that may be collected but there is a transient population of approximately 140 horses and ponies grazing Council land at any one time - these include stallions, pregnant mares and foals. They are usually free roaming and not tethered. The owners are not known but local enquiries suggest that most are travellers' horses. Tenders are now being sought for the appointment of an organisation(s) to the following framework agreements: - Collection and Transportation of Horses. - Livery and Disposal of Horses. Interested organisations may submit a tender for one or both framework agreements. Framework agreements will be awarded for an initial period of twelve months with the possibility of a further twelve month extension period. The Council requires the work to be carried out in accordance with the Animals Act 1971 as amended by The Control of Horses Act 2015. The closing date of Friday 29th January 2016 at 17:00 represents the deadline for the submission of final tenders. The start and end dates of contract referred to in this contract notice refer to the envisaged period of the initial duration of the framework agreements and not to the duration of any contracts "called off" from the frameworks.
