Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority procured services to supply and install kennels for police dogs at the homes of police dog handlers. The requirement covers dog kennel construction and associated kennel services, delivered across Scotland. The buyer is the Scottish Police Authority, a public body responsible for public order and safety and also acting as a central purchasing body. The kennels are intended for operational police dogs housed at handlers’ homes, so the requirement involves both the physical supply and installation of suitable kennel facilities and the related service capability. This is a single police-dog kennel requirement rather than a general construction project, and is relevant to suppliers specialising in purpose-built dog kennels, animal housing, installation and related support.

The procurement is complete and an award was made to Timberbuild Dog Kennels Ltd, an SME. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £300,000. The contract period is 1,800 days, with the possibility of two 12-month renewal periods. The procedure was an open procedure, with electronic submission and English-language bids. Submissions closed on 1 April 2026 at 12:00, and bids were opened at that time; bids were required to remain valid for 180 days. Evaluation was based on technical quality at 60% and price at 40%, with variants not allowed. Two bids were received, both from SMEs. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and contract are also recorded.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from the Scottish Police Authority for purpose-built police-dog kennels installed at handlers’ homes across Scotland. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to design, manufacture and install robust kennel facilities suitable for working police dogs, while coordinating delivery and installation at multiple residential locations. Relevant capability includes practical construction and installation skills, understanding of animal welfare and secure working-dog environments, and the capacity to deliver a consistent specification across dispersed sites. The two bids received were both from SMEs, indicating that the requirement can be contested by smaller specialist businesses. Electronic ordering, invoicing and payment arrangements also favour suppliers with established administrative systems for public-sector delivery.
