## Summary

The Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council is currently undertaking a procurement process for a Stray Dog Kennelling Service, aimed at supporting their Dog Warden Service in handling stray dogs within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The tender was published on 11th January 2019 and will remain open until 8th February 2019, with a contract period set to commence on 1st April 2019 and concluding on 31st March 2023. This procurement follows an open procedure below the threshold, with an estimated contract value of £28,000 and a minimum threshold of £12,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in pet care, animal welfare, or kennel services. Companies that can demonstrate experience in managing stray animals and adhering to animal welfare standards would be particularly well-suited to compete. The scope of this service not only allows for potential growth in the local animal care market but also ensures compliance with statutory obligations related to stray dog management, making it a beneficial win for both the council and the selected provider.

## 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.
