## Summary

The Somerset Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Stray Dog and Kennelling Services to St Giles Animal Centre Limited. The contract was awarded through a limited procurement process with a negotiated without publication of a contract notice method. The contract was signed on 8th May 2024, and the services mainly involve stray dog collection, kennelling, and rehoming.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses in the dog kennel services sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in providing kennelling services for stray dogs, including collection and rehoming, would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process has already concluded with a single supplier awarded the contract. The Council undertook market testing and prior advertising due to limited competition in this specialised service area.

### Procurement Information

A previous tender exercise resulted in no suitable bidders. It is a very limited market due to the need to be available to collect stray dogs at short notice which may also be detained under the requirements of the dangerous dogs act. Market testing and prior advertising resulted in no suitable responses, the incumbent suppliers have also been contacted and this has resulted in only one interested party.
