Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom, initiated a procurement process for Dog Warden Services, located in Peterborough. This tender, which follows an open procedure, was planned to cover services including dog kennel operations and partnering with Safer Communities Officers on stray dog issues as per statutory requirements. The procurement process was initially set to remain open until 1st December 2025, with award decisions expected by 26th January 2026. However, the award for this contract was cancelled on 5th March 2026.

The tender for Dog Warden Services provided opportunities for SMEs and VCSE organisations to contribute to public welfare, especially those experienced in delivering specialised services compliant with relevant laws such as the Environmental Protection Act and the Dangerous Dogs Act. Businesses with capabilities in quality management, training, experience, and efficiency would have been particularly well-suited to bid, given the significance placed on quality criteria. Although the procurement opportunity has been cancelled, similar opportunities may recur, allowing interested parties to prepare for future tenders that fall within this category.
