## Summary

Stafford Borough Council, operating under the public authority classification of sub-central government, has recently completed a procurement process for the outsourcing of the stray dog collection and kennelling service. This contract covers both Stafford Borough Council and Cannock Chase District Council regions, within the United Kingdom. The procurement, classified under the services industry category, ensures the collection, management, and care of stray dogs as mandated by local statutory duties. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with the award stage completed on 22 May 2026. The contract will commence on 15 June 2026, with a planned end date of 31 March 2029, and includes options for extension up to 31 March 2031.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in animal care and management services. Particularly, it is an advantageous prospect for SMEs such as NOAH'S ARK ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES LTD, which was successfully awarded the contract. Businesses capable of providing high-quality care and a robust operational response to dog capture and welfare management are well-positioned to benefit. The contract, valued at approximately £340,000, underlines the potential for growth within this sector, and successful bids typically involve demonstrating both economic and technical capacities as per procurement documents.
