## Summary

Cumberland Council has completed the tender process for the "Provision of Stray Dog Service," classified under the dog kennel services industry (CPV: 98380000). The service will be implemented across England, United Kingdom, with the contract running from 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2025. This public procurement process proceeded through an open procedure and had a tender period ending on 12 August 2024. The final award was made on 30 September 2024, with a total contract value of £596,294.40. The award was ultimately given to suppliers Biggards Dog Kennels and Whinmill Farm Canine Centre.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in animal care and management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), will find the tender's requirements well-suited to their capabilities. The contract's one-year duration allows firms to showcase their services in a regulated environment, potentially leading to longer-term partnerships with Cumberland Council. Businesses specialising in the care, rehoming, or kennelling of animals would be particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders in the future.

## Notice

Cumberland Council have a statutory duty to respond to, collect and kennel any dog that is deemed to be stray. The legislation that governs this states that the dog is to be kennelled for a minimum of 7 days with attempts being made to contact any identified owner through the Microchip (if present). In the event that no owner is located and the 7 day period is up, the dog can then be progressed to be rehomed or euthanised.
