Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority procured the supply and installation of kennels for police dogs at handlers’ homes. The requirement covers dog kennels as a service, including the associated installation work, for police handlers’ residential locations across Scotland. The buyer is the Scottish Police Authority, which also acts as a central purchasing body. This is a specialist physical supply-and-installation requirement rather than a general construction contract. Businesses suited to the opportunity would typically manufacture or supply robust dog-kennel units and have the operational capability to install them at multiple residential sites. The procurement used the classification for kennel-related services (CPV 98380000), with construction-related classification also included (CPV 45223600).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. It comprised one lot covering dog kennels for police dogs at handlers’ homes. Bids closed at 12:00 on 1 April 2026, and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026. The contract is active and has a value of £300,000. Its stated duration is 1,800 days, with two possible 12-month renewal periods. Timberbuild Dog Kennels Ltd was awarded the contract. Evaluation placed 60% weight on technical quality and 40% on price. Two bids were received, both from small and medium-sized enterprises, and both were submitted electronically. Variants were not permitted, bids had to remain valid for 180 days, and English was the submission language.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from the Scottish Police Authority for specialist kennel manufacture, supply and installation for police dog handlers. Competitors seeking similar work would need to provide suitable kennel designs and products, manage installation at handlers’ homes, and demonstrate reliable delivery across multiple locations in Scotland. Technical quality was more important than price in the evaluation, so credible suppliers would need strong technical responses as well as competitive pricing. The procurement materials included technical questions and responses, a pricing schedule, community-benefit requirements, terms and conditions, a divisional map, and certificates covering social obligations and no collusion. The successful market profile is therefore an SME-scale specialist supplier able to combine product capability, installation capacity, technical assurance and organised site delivery.
