Summary of the contracting process

Burnley Borough Council is inviting tenders for their "Dog Kennelling Services, Burnley" project, which is specifically focused on providing services for stray dogs within the borough. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage under an open competition method, targeting services within the dog kennel industry category. The service provision is split into three distinct lots, with the main Kennelling Service catering to stray dogs with defined operational hours, and two additional provisional lots concerning the capture and collection of roaming dogs. Businesses have until 15:00 on 19th December 2025 to submit their tenders, with inquiries due by 12th December 2025. The contract period is set to commence on 1st January 2026 and will run until 31st March 2028.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses with experience in dog kennel services to expand their operations by securing a contract with a valued local authority client. Small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly those with the capability to offer extended services beyond standard hours, are strongly encouraged to participate. With a total contract value of up to £60,000 for the combined lots, businesses can bid for individual lots or all three, thereby proposing tailored pricing and method statements that align with Burnley Borough Council's quality and price criteria. This tender process offers potential growth avenues for established kennelling service providers looking to strengthen their regional presence and network with local government entities.
