This opportunity falls under the dog kennel services sector (CPV code 98380000), with a total contract value of £150,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 5th March 2019. Successful suppliers will be expected to commence service delivery from 3rd June 2019, lasting for an initial three-year contract, with the potential for a further two-year extension. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the animal care, kennelling, and related service industries. Companies that specialise in pet care, dog handling, or veterinary services, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), would be particularly well-suited to participate. The successful contractor will not only handle the collection and temporary care of stray dogs but will also manage the re-homing process, thus contributing positively to community welfare and animal welfare initiatives. ## Notice The Environmental Protection Act (EPA) 1990 places duties on local authorities to deal with stray dogs. These duties are to collect and detain stray dogs, return seized dogs to their owners, keep a register of stray dogs and retain the dogs for a period of 7 days, after which they cease to be a local authority responsibility. The London Borough of Havering is seeking to appoint a Supplier for three years, with a potential for an extension for a further two years, to provide the following services: 1. Dog Collection Service: The Supplier will collect stray dogs when reported to the Council. The collection period for this service will be between 07:00 and 00:00 hours 365 days per year, including bank holidays. Anyone finding stray dogs between 00:00 and 07:00 hours will still be able to report them by phoning the Council's Call Centre, but the Supplier will not be required to collect until after 07:00 hours. 2. Dog Kennelling Service: Following collection, the Supplier will transport the dogs to licensed kennels. All stray dogs will be checked for any forms of owner identification. The Supplier will keep the stray dogs for the statutory seven-day period and will be responsible for the dog's welfare during this period. 3. Administration, Record Keeping and Reporting: The Supplier will be responsible for serving notices under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, maintaining the statutory register of seized dogs and providing the Council with written monthly monitoring reports of tasks, which have been carried out in performing the service. 4. Re-homing Service: Seven days after collection the dogs cease to be a Council responsibility, and that responsibility passes to the Supplier. The Supplier will be responsible for the safe custody, care and re-homing of the dogs that are not claimed by their owners. The Council anticipates that dogs will be euthanised only on medical or behavioural grounds. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/018477a9-9b7e-4f63-8ed5-30eadfd393ea | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 5 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Jun 2019 - 2 Jun 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ONESOURCE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Romford | | Postcode | RM1 3AR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI5 Outer London - East and North East | | ITL 3 | TLI52 Barking & Dagenham and Havering | | Local authority | Havering | | Electoral ward | St Edward's | | Westminster constituency | Romford | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98380000 - Dog kennel services ## Release History - 24 Jan 2019 at 15:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/018477a9-9b7e-4f63-8ed5-30eadfd393ea ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/018477a9-9b7e-4f63-8ed5-30eadfd393ea 24th January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.capitalesourcing.com Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
