This open procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions due by 22nd July 2019. The new contract will commence on 1st August 2019 and will last for up to two years. The opportunity relates to the dog kennel services industry, with the current framework due to expire at the end of July 2019. Interested parties must meet the licensing requirements and demonstrate quality standards in Health and Safety as well as Environmental and Dog Welfare provisions. This tender presents significant opportunities for local businesses specialising in animal care and kennel services, particularly smaller enterprises that can deliver high-quality facilities and adhere to strict welfare standards. By taking part in this framework, suitable providers can secure a steady stream of business from Cornwall Council, contributing to the local economy while promoting responsible pet management. Businesses that prioritise Health and Safety and have experience in dog welfare initiatives will be particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice Cornwall Council has a statutory duty under section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to seize and detain stray dogs in its area. This duty means that the Council have to provide sufficient facilities to house stray dogs that are collected by its officers and by its contractors before they can be reunited with their owners or re-homed. The current stray dog framework agreement is due to expire on 31st July 2019. Therefore it is essential that new contracts are in place before the 1st August 2019. The Council's Dog Welfare and Enforcement team have worked proactively with charities such as Dogs Trust and volunteer groups such as Dogs Lost Cornwall, to ensure that dogs are micro chipped and to also ensure that owners have the greatest opportunity to be re-united with their dogs. This work has helped ensure that Cornwall has the highest dog return rate in the South West. The work carried out by the service has also reduced the stray dog numbers from 1500 reported cases in 2011/12 to 750 cases in 2017/18. It is intended that the qualifying criteria will remain the same, with the requirement to be licensed being the key pass criteria for the kennels to obtain. In addition to this, in order to be admitted to the Framework Agreement consideration will be given to the quality of Health and Safety provision, as well as consideration given to the Environmental and inherent Dog Welfare provision quality of the Kenneling business. As well as at least adequately meeting the aforementioned Quality based criteria, Kennelling Providers will also be required to accept and adhere to the Authority's standard cross -county services pricing structure to ensure a consistent charging mechanism is in place County wide. The new Framework Agreement is intended to run for a period of up to 2 years from 01/08/19 to 31/07/21 inclusive. Interested Kenneling Providers, not already pre- selected for direct invitation, can apply by accessing the opportunity details via the Due North/Proactis Portal or the Supplyingthesouthwest.com website where this opportunity has the project reference DN418734. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35268c87-65d9-4546-a953-92ccb794e2e9 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jul 2019 | | Submission deadline | 22 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2019 - 31 Jul 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98380000 - Dog kennel services ## Release History - 10 Jul 2019 at 12:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35268c87-65d9-4546-a953-92ccb794e2e9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/35268c87-65d9-4546-a953-92ccb794e2e9 10th July 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
