Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Burnley Borough Council is seeking contractors for "Dog Kennelling Services" within the Borough of Burnley, classified under the CPV code 98380000, with service delivery expected in the North West of the United Kingdom. This tender is currently in the Tender stage and closes on 19th December 2025, with the service contract starting on 1st January 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2028. The procurement method employed is an open procedure below the threshold, inviting bids for either the Core Lot or the optional Provisional Lots which involve roaming dog capture and extended collection services. The total estimated contract value is £50,000, and it is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender represents a growth opportunity for businesses specialised in animal care services, particularly those experienced in working with local authorities. The potential for providing services across different time slots and service types, such as capturing roaming dogs and offering kennelling, makes this tender ideal for businesses with flexible operational capabilities and a robust service infrastructure. Firms with a track record in handling public sector contracts will find this offer appealing, particularly if they can demonstrate high standards in service provision and capacity to handle multiple lots. Engaging in this contract would enhance the business profile within the public sector of the North West region and could open doors for future collaborations with municipal entities.
