## Summary

The joint procurement exercise led by Stirling Council, in collaboration with Police Scotland, Falkirk Council, and Clackmannanshire Council, aims to deliver stray dog kennel and rehoming services across Forth Valley. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with an industry category of dog kennel services. An important element of early planning is the information session scheduled for 19th August 2025, from 1 pm to 4.30 pm, at The Wallace Room, Old Viewforth, Stirling. Interested parties must confirm attendance by 15th August via email. The procurement method is planned under the services category, helping to design a suitable tender by understanding market capabilities and gathering feedback.

This procurement presents lucrative opportunities for businesses involved in animal care and kennelling services, specifically those with expertise in providing kennelling and rehoming solutions for stray dogs. Companies that can offer innovative approaches to these services will benefit by engaging in this procurement process. Collaboration with multiple councils ensures a wide reach, providing substantial opportunities for business growth within regional procurement markets in Forth Valley. This initiative could be particularly advantageous for specialised kennels and rehoming agencies prepared to handle a comprehensive scope of animal welfare services.
