This contract falls within the services industry category, specifically focusing on training services, and has a total value of £24,999.

Companies that can provide investigation services or kennel services for greyhounds may find this an excellent opportunity to engage with Defra and expand their market presence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community or social enterprises (VCSEs) are also encouraged to participate, as the procurement process has been designed to support their involvement.

## Notice

Defra has recently undertaken a Post Implementation Review (PIR) of the Welfare of Racing Greyhounds Regulations 2010. The PIR found that there were concerns about conditions at the kennels of those greyhound trainers operating only on the four remaining independent tracks. However, the PIR also found that there was no supporting evidence as to the scale of the problem at such kennels. The PIR committed Defra to seeking evidence as to the precise numbers of greyhound trainers operating solely at independent tracks in England and the likely conditions at these kennels. This evidence will be used to consider whether further regulation is required for these kennels.
