## Summary

The Borough Council of Newcastle-under-Lyme is awarding a contract for the "Stray Dog Kennelling Service", aimed at providing care for stray dogs collected by the Council's Dog Warden Service or found by the public. This service falls under the category of dog kennel services within the public services industry and is set in the West Midlands, England. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, and the contract period commenced on 1 April 2019, concluding on 31 March 2023, with a contract value of £54,319. The tender process was publicly concluded on 8 February 2019, with the award officially announced on 22 March 2019.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the animal welfare and kennel service sectors, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) which are encouraged to participate. Providers offering effective and humane kennelling solutions, along with those focused on re-homing stray dogs, would be well-positioned to align with the Council’s objectives of animal welfare while fulfilling statutory requirements. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with the welfare standards and possess the necessary facilities and expertise in managing stray dogs will likely find advantageous opportunities for growth in this public contract.

## Notice

The Borough Council of Newcastle-under-Lyme is seeking to procure the services of a provider for the kennelling of stray dogs which have either been collected by the Borough Council's Dog Warden Service or found by members of the public. On average Dog Wardens collect about 150 strays per year. Strays need to be held for up to a seven day statutory period during which time owners may come forward to reclaim their dogs. In previous years about half the dogs we collect were reclaimed. After seven days attempts should be made to re-home unclaimed dogs. The Kennelling Service Provider ensures that the Borough Council is able to fulfil its statutory function in connection with the collection of stray dogs, but will also ensure animal welfare objectives are met.
