This initiative falls under the recreational, cultural, and sporting services category and is located in Poulton-Le-Fylde, England. The tender had a deadline for submissions on 16th November 2015, with the contract period set to commence on 18th January 2016 and concluding on 31st January 2018. The estimated value of the contract is £75,000, and the procurement method has not been specified. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in animal care, particularly those offering kennelling and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those that can provide reliable facilities and services for managing stray dogs. As local authorities increasingly require compliance with animal welfare regulations, businesses that specialise in this sector can position themselves advantageously by responding effectively to this tender. ## Notice Under Section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, the local authority is responsible for discharging the functions for dealing with stray dogs (with the exception of dangerous dogs). The Control of Dogs Order 1992 provides that dogs must wear a collar and tag giving the name and address of the owner when in a public place. In most cases, it is expected that this will enable the owner to be identified with relative ease. Failure to comply with this direction is an offence under Animal Health Act 1981 and such dogs may be seized, even if a person is in charge of such a dog. Moreover, the 1992 order places a duty on authorities to enforce the requirement for dogs to wear a collar and tag in a public place. The police retain duties with regard to dealing with dangerous dogs, banned breeds and dogs found to be worrying livestock. The availability of a high quality and reliable local kennels to safely house stray dogs for the seven day statutory period is key to the delivery of a quality service to the public. As a minimum the Contractor must be able to accept strays every day at the times designated below, and must be available to allow owners to re-claim their dogs once the relevant release fee has been paid to either the Council or direct to the Contractor. The successful Contractor must also provide an out of hours collection service if instructed by an authorised Officer. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4691ad6-ca77-4adc-99ff-fc6e8cb02aeb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 16 Nov 2015 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Jan 2016 - 31 Jan 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £75,000 | | 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 | WYRE BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | POULTON-LE-FYLDE | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | FT6 7PU | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4691ad6-ca77-4adc-99ff-fc6e8cb02aeb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b4691ad6-ca77-4adc-99ff-fc6e8cb02aeb 19th October 2015 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ce61cbef-ceaf-4b9c-8045-a2d66857ca5d Invitation To Quote - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e809e185-2a4c-4ccc-b063-2386dd5db074 Response Document - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/procontract/supplier.nsf/frm_opportunity?openForm&opp_id=OPP-HIS-A2SL-YX6XSE&contract_id=CONTRACT-9ZYN-6A71P6&org_id=ORG-NWCE-7UGD54&from= Details on the CHEST ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
