## Notice

Shepway District Council ("the Council") has a duty under s.149 and s.150 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA) to appoint an officer "for the purpose of discharging the functions for dealing with stray dogs found in the area of the authority". To do this, the Council requires the services of a boarding kennel for the care of any stray dogs seized. The Council's appointed officer(s) will be responsible for collecting, transporting and returning strays. The kennel is asked to provide care to any strays received from the Council until the dog is returned to its owner (normally within 7 days). The kennel is also asked to take ownership of any unclaimed dog until the kennel is able to rehome the animal. Information on the Council's stray dog service and policy can be found at https://www.shepway.gov.uk/environmental-protection/dogs-and-problem-dogs/report-a-stray-dog. Kennels should be located within 20 miles of Civic Centre, Castle Hill Avenue, Folkestone CT20 2QY and hold a current Dog Boarding Licence in compliance with The Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963. The Contract is anticipated to commence upon 1st February 2018 and will continue for a period of 3 years with the option to extend by a further 2 years.
