UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council intends to procure temporary kennelling and animal care services for small animals, including dogs and cats. The service is intended to provide temporary accommodation and care for these animals; the council’s market engagement will explain the project’s requirements and aims. This is a service contract delivered for Hull City Council in Hull. The work is classified as dog kennel services and also covers small animals. The council is seeking interest from suppliers ahead of a later procurement, rather than inviting bids at this stage.

The process is at planning: Hull City Council has set out an intention to procure and is undertaking preliminary market engagement, not issuing an invitation to tender. The council expects to hold an online information event via Microsoft Teams on 17 November 2026, from 1pm to 2pm. Suppliers are asked to respond by 5pm on 16 November 2026 to book a place. The council expects a subsequent notice on 4 January 2027. The planned contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. The estimated value is £650,000, or £780,000 including gross value. A framework agreement is planned; no evaluation basis is set out at this stage.

The work is suited to suppliers able to provide temporary kennelling and animal care for dogs, cats and other small animals. Hull City Council has indicated that small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are suitable suppliers, so the planned service is not restricted to large providers. Organisations with relevant animal-handling, welfare and kennel operations capability should use the planned engagement to understand the council’s requirements and aims and to prepare for the later procurement. The expected multi-year service may suit providers with the capacity to deliver ongoing care and accommodation, although the council has not set out detailed staffing, accreditation or experience requirements at this planning stage.
