Description

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (on behalf of Greater Manchester Police) seeks bids from organisations capable of providing the following services, across the Greater Manchester area:

- The collection, transportation and emergency veterinary treatment of dogs seized under the Dangerous Dogs Act (1991); and
- The collection, transportation, emergency veterinary treatment, temporary accommodation and/or rehoming of dogs and/or other animals (domesticated, feral and/or wild), seized or removed from the scene of a police incident, for operational reasons, and for which Greater Manchester Police has a continuing duty of care.

The above services are required 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including all public holidays.

Veterinary treatment and/or boarding of police dogs is not covered under this contract.

The full specification and evaluation criteria are included as part of the Invitation to Tender, which is available to download free of charge from the Bluelight e-tendering portal (https://bluelight.eu-supply.com).

The Authority intends to award one contract to a single provider, either for the supply of all services or acting as the prime contractor and utilising one or more sub-contractors. Any sub-contracting or partnership arrangement must be declared to and approved by the Authority.

The Invitation to Tender has been issued by Greater Manchester Combined Authority, as the Contracting Authority for Greater Manchester Police. This is a competitive procurement conducted in accordance with the Open Procedure, under the Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament, as implemented by The Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Bidders should note that whilst the "Customer" is Greater Manchester Combned Authority, the goods/services are essentially being delivered to Greater Manchester Police who will be the main users of the goods/services. Therefore the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police will be given equal rights to the Authority, to enforce the provisions of the Contract, under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
