Notice Information
Notice Title
Collection and Kennelling of Stray Dogs MW
Notice Description
The Stray Dog Collection and Kennelling Project is a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise issued by Wolverhampton City Council to gather market insight ahead of procuring a statutory stray dog service under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 As the Council currently operates without an in-house provision or contracted provider, the project seeks to understand market capacity, service delivery models, pricing structures, and contract options for the collection, kennelling, potential rehoming, and lawful management of stray dogs across the Wolverhampton boundary. The PME will inform the future procurement strategy, including decisions on contract structure (single or multi-lot), duration, pricing model, mobilisation timelines, compliance requirements, and risk management, ensuring the Council secures a legally compliant, stable, and value-for-money service.
