Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Stray Dogs Kennelling" contract. This procurement, which falls under the dog kennel services category (CPV code: 98380000), is situated in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through a direct award method, with a total value of £54,000 allocated to Carlton Forest Boarding Kennels, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME). The award was made active on 31st March 2025, with the contract covering the period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract notice published on 3rd June 2026.

This tender presents notable opportunities for SMEs operating within the dog kennel services sector. Given the direct award method and the significant contract value, businesses capable of providing specialised kennelling services for stray dogs can leverage such contracts for substantial business growth. The suitability criteria indicated a preference for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), suggesting that smaller, community-focused businesses are well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in future procurement rounds. The localisation to the East Midlands may also benefit businesses in or near this region in establishing strong working relationships with local government entities.
