## Summary

Bassetlaw District Council, a public authority in the sub-central government sector, has completed a procurement process for providing a dog warden service within the district. The service involves the collection of stray dogs, and the procurement was made through a direct method below the competition threshold. The contract, awarded to Pest Express Limited, commenced on 2nd May 2025 and is set to conclude on 4th May 2027. The awarded contract is active, with a gross value of £98,350, reflecting the strategic initiative taken by the Council to address local service needs in the Worksop area under the services category.

Pest Express Limited, an SME based in Nottingham, has capitalised on this opportunity, showcasing a successful model for other similar businesses in the UK to expand into public sector contracts. Such contracts can provide recurrent income and potential for long-term partnerships with local government entities.
