## Summary

The North Somerset Council is seeking a provider for the "Kennelling, Collection and Handling of Stray Dogs" service, necessitated by its statutory duty to collect and kennel stray dogs within its jurisdiction. This tender is currently in the Award stage and has been contracted to Whitehouse Kennels and Cattery, effective from 1 September 2019, with a contract term of five years and a potential two-year extension. The tender pertains to the services sector, specifically dog kennel services and dog training services, within the South West region of England. The tender value is set at £196,000, with relevant documents made available since 12 June 2019, and the formal deadline for submission was 17 July 2019.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) within the animal care and services industry. Businesses equipped to handle kennel operations, dog training, and related animal welfare services would particularly benefit from this contract. Engaging in this tender process could not only enhance their service portfolio but also expand their operational footprint within the public sector, potentially leading to further public contracts in the future.
