    Brief

    This contract provides specialist equine enforcement and emergency services across the Sandwell borough. Services include identifying, managing, and impounding illegally grazed, abandoned, and loose horses on Council-owned land and public highways. The provider will deliver emergency response, transportation, temporary livery accommodation, and animal welfare support. This is a direct award contract due to the specialist nature of the work and the need for an established provider with proven operational capability, specialist equine expertise, and established local response arrangements. The limited supplier market and specific operational requirements mean only experienced providers with demonstrated animal welfare standards and local presence can meet Council needs.
