Description
Kent Police and Essex Police is seeking to contract with an experienced horse recovery expert to assist the Force in recovering horses found loose on the public highway. The recovered horses will need to be transported to a secure location and where possible returned to their owners, should the owner be identified.
Once detained by the Contractor, the horse shall only be the responsibility of the Authority for a maximum of 21 days, within which time attempts will be made to identify the owner of the horse. Where the horse's owner cannot be found, the Authority will only be liable for the costs of medical or other services that are necessary for the horse's wellbeing within the initial 21-day (maximum) period.
After the initial 21-day period has lapsed, the ownership of the horse shall be transferred to the contractor and all incumbent fees associated with it shall be at the cost of the Contractor.
