UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheltenham Borough Council is inviting tenders for the provision of services related to the collection, kennelling, and re-homing of stray dogs. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with an end date for submissions set for 14th August 2026. Located in Cheltenham, UK, this procurement falls under the services category and aligns with the CPV code 98380000, which pertains to dog kennel services. The procurement method is open competition below the threshold, with a total contract value estimated at £40,000, excluding VAT. Interested parties must submit all documents electronically via the Intend Portal, with the contract period scheduled to start on 1st September 2026 and potentially extending until 2030.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in animal care services, particularly those experienced in handling stray animals and capable of providing comprehensive kennel services. The contract's provision for an out-of-hours service and the re-homing of unclaimed dogs could appeal to companies with robust operational capabilities and an existing infrastructure to manage such responsibilities. Furthermore, with a 50% weighting on both pricing and quality evaluation, businesses that provide competitively priced yet high-quality services will find themselves well-placed to compete. Such an opportunity is ideal for firms looking to expand their portfolios within the public sector, particularly those based in or near Cheltenham to benefit from the geographical proximity.
