## Summary

Huntingdonshire District Council is inviting tenders for the provision of a kennelling facility for stray dogs. The procurement is for veterinary services, with related classifications including animal products and small animals. The location for this service covers a wide range, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. This open procedure (below threshold) tender was published on 18 December 2024, and the tender period will end on 22 January 2025. The contract will commence on 1 April 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 31 March 2028. The minimum contract value is £100,000, with an estimated value of £120,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in veterinary services and animal care, particularly those that can provide facilities for housing stray dogs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find this project suitable as the process encourages their participation. Businesses that excel in managing animal welfare tasks, particularly kennelling and reception services for stray dogs, should consider competing for this tender. With a substantial contract duration of three years and clear financial allocations, businesses have the potential to enhance their service offerings and expand their portfolio through this contract.

## Notice

Huntingdonshire District Council does not have their own kennelling facility and therefore has a need to identify a provider to fulfil their responsibilities in terms of a reception and holding centre for stray dogs. HDC have contracted external kennelling to oversee the safe housing and welfare elements of this role, whilst HDC officers have acted as the dog wardens who would collect secured strays.
