## Summary

Bassetlaw District Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Worksop, United Kingdom, initiated a procurement process for a Dog Warden Service aimed at managing stray animals. The procurement was managed by Welland Procurement, based in Melton Mowbray. This process was conducted as an open competition below threshold as per UK legislation, with an overall value of £185,336 GBP. Although the tender stage was opened with submissions through the ProContract Portal, the solicitation was ultimately cancelled due to the lack of tender submissions before the deadline of 28th May 2025. Initially, the service was scheduled to commence on 1st August 2025, potentially lasting until 2028, with a possible 12-month extension.

This procurement presented a promising opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) involved in animal control and related services. The Dog Warden Service contract offered a balanced award criterion focusing on quality aspects at 60% and pricing at 40%, providing various business growth opportunities for firms excelling in service delivery. Although this particular opportunity was terminated, the need for such services in the region may prompt further tenders, giving businesses in these industries a chance to prepare and position themselves advantageously for future bids.
