## Summary

Blackpool Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Stray Dog Kennelling services. The contract is valued at £350,000 GBP and will run from December 18, 2023, to December 17, 2028, with possible incremental extensions over two years. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the procurement stage is now at the award phase. The service falls under the main procurement category of services, with the buying organisation being Blackpool Council based in Blackpool, United Kingdom.

This tender for Stray Dog Kennelling services by Blackpool Council presents an opportunity for businesses in the services sector, especially those involved in providing dog kennel services. Small and medium enterprises as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises are well-suited to compete due to the contract's focus on SMEs and VCSE suitability. Additionally, businesses located within a 10-mile radius of Blackpool have a competitive advantage in meeting the location requirements specified in the tender, creating growth opportunities within the North West region of the United Kingdom.

## Notice

Blackpool Council is looking to appoint a provider of a dog kennelling establishment to operate as an acceptance point to receive stray dogs from members of the public/Dog Warden, that have been picked up within the boundaries of Blackpool Council. The service will include call handling requirements during opening hours, kennelling and the re-homing of stray dogs. It will be necessary for 7 kennels to be set aside permanently for use by Blackpool Council. This may be increased or decreased throughout the contract lifetime subject to review and capacity demand. For operational reasons, the kennels are required to be located within 10 driven miles of the Blackpool boundary. Extra kennels may be required at different times of the year, especially in July, August and around November and December. A guideline of 50 extra kennel spaces a year is given as an estimate but this number is subject to change and may increase or decrease accordingly. It is anticipated that the contract term will be from 18 December 2023 to 17 December 2028, with the option to extend incrementally for a period of 2 years on a 1 year + 1 year basis (subject to contract review and budget availability).
