Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has awarded the contract titled "Dog Kennelling During Crown Court Trial" to house animals seized during criminal action until the conclusion of a Crown Court trial. The procurement process falls under the services industry category, specifically dog kennel services, and is located in the UKK11 region of the United Kingdom. The contract was issued using a direct procurement method, without competition, due to being below the threshold. The award was assigned to Highfield Kennels & Cattery on 31st March 2026, with the contract period ranging from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027. Each step of the process aligns with the legal basis set by the UKPGA legislation from 2023.

This contract presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in animal care facilities, particularly those offering dog kennel services. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the region with capacity to handle kennelling needs during legal proceedings are well-suited to explore similar future opportunities. Highfield Kennels & Cattery exemplifies a fitting provider due to its established presence and capability in animal housing services. Business growth can be supported by establishing relationships with local authorities like Bristol City Council, which frequently requires specialised service providers to fulfil mandatory legal support roles.
