UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Derbyshire District Council initiated a procurement process for "SDDC Dog Kennelling Services" with an open tendering method aimed at securing services compliant with the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Although initially published and active, the process was cancelled on 27 November 2025, after no suitable bids were received. The council, positioned in Swadlincote, United Kingdom, aimed to provide services like secure housing for stray dogs and other related services. The service tender was valued at £160,000 GBP and targeted providers that meet specific welfare standards. The procurement process also emphasised quality and cost as key award criteria, and businesses were encouraged to submit bids via the ProContract procurement portal during the tender period ending on 29 May 2025.

This tender would have presented a significant opportunity for businesses involved in animal care services to grow by partnering with a government body. Companies with expertise in dog kennelling and a track record of adhering to regulatory standards, particularly those able to provide 24/7 supervision and excellent care, would have been well-suited to compete for the contract. Organisations classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) would have found this especially advantageous. Despite the cancellation, a future relaunch of similar opportunities may benefit these sectors, prompting potential bidders to align their services with the council's requirements and maintain readiness for similar tenders.
