## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex, along with the Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent, is undertaking a procurement process titled "Kennelling of Seized & Dangerous Dogs" within the dog kennel services industry. This procurement is currently in the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 26 July 2021. The contract covers kennelling services for seized and dangerous dogs in East Kent, West Kent, and Essex, with a total value of £1,800,000 over a potential contract duration of up to 1080 days, including possibilities for renewal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in animal care, kennel services, and related logistical support. Companies that can provide secure shelter, food, and healthcare for animals, meeting the demanding service requirements, would be particularly well-suited to compete.
