## Summary

The procurement process titled "Secure Boarding of Dangerous/Seized Dogs and Associated Services" is conducted by Warwickshire Police, located in Warwickshire, United Kingdom. This service falls under the dog kennel services category and involves the provision of kennel space and care for banned and dangerous dogs as per the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. The procurement method employed is a limited procedure, allowing for the direct award of the contract, which was signed on 23rd September 2021, following initial planning that took place on 6th July 2021. The total contract value is £200,000.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses within the animal care and welfare sectors, particularly those specialising in kennel services for dangerous dogs. Companies that can provide transport and demonstrate technical capability to manage the welfare of potentially hazardous animals will be highly regarded. Given the specific geographic preferences mentioned, suppliers located within a one-hour travel radius of major towns such as Rugby and Nuneaton will find this contract aligns well with their operational capabilities.

## Notice

Provision of kennel space and associated care of banned, dangerous and seized dogs.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of kennel space and associated care of banned, dangerous and seized dogs. It is likely that the dogs held will fall under two sections of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and include specific breeds such as American Pit Bull, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brasileiro. To reduce unnecessary stress to the animal travel time to the kennels should be no more than one (1) hour travelling distance from Warwickshire's bigger towns such as Rugby and Nuneaton.

### Procurement Information

Secure Boarding of Dangerous/Seized dogs' suppliers are scarce and due to the very nature of the service require the kennels not offer dog boarding or associated services to the public nor publicise its location to the public. On the 6th July 2021 a PIN notice was published that gave potential suppliers three weeks to express an interest. Three expressions of interest were received. Previous data shows that the problematic areas are primarily Warwickshire's bigger towns such as Rugby and Nuneaton. With this in mind and to reduce unnecessary stress and travel time on the animal it is our preference if kennels be located within 1 hour travelling distance of these towns. Based on this requirement two out of the three expressions of interest were from suppliers who had well in excess of the 1 hr preferred. As a direct result it was determined that an open competition was not indicated and that the contract would be awarded via a direct award procedure following the Negotiated Procedure. The justification being that we have concluded there is only one suitable supplier who can cater to the requirement.
