The contract, valued at £200,000, ensures adherence to relevant legislative requirements including the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 and Animal Welfare Act 2006.

Suitable candidates include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in animal welfare and transport, as indicated by the suitability criteria within the lot.
