## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire has awarded a contract on behalf of Warwickshire Police for the provision of operational dog kennelling and associated services. The contract pertains to dog kennel services (CPV code: 98380000), located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement followed a limited, competitive quotation method suitable for below-threshold procurements and concluded successfully in the award stage. This tender initiated on 25th June 2024 and the contract period runs from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2027, with a total value of £195,000 and potential extensions for further two years. The procurement aimed to ensure operational dog handlers have access to local kennels when necessary, spanning a three-year period with options for further 12-month extensions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), particularly those involved in the provision of professional pet care and kennelling services. Businesses that are adept at handling operational dogs, and those located within the West Midlands geographic area, stand to benefit from this contract. The multi-supplier framework allows for flexibility and encourages competitive engagement, providing selected businesses with a stable revenue stream and the potential to enhance their service portfolios in collaboration with a notable public sector entity like Warwickshire Police.

## Notice

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire on behalf of Warwickshire Police has awarded a contract for the kennelling of operational dogs to be used when their handlers are on leave or off sick. This was a one stage tender process for the establishment of a multi supplier framework agreement. Due to the operational dog kennelling service geographical area of Warwickshire, it was important to choose kennels that were suitably situated within this area. Two providers were selected to allow the handlers to have a choice should one or the other provider be fully booked. The contract shall run for an initial period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 x 12 month periods. Due to operational sensitivities the names of the providers have been redacted.
