## Summary

Wolverhampton City Council is in the planning stage for a public procurement process under the title "Collection and Kennelling of Stray Dogs MW". This project, classified under the services category, is part of a pre-market engagement exercise aimed at gathering insights from suppliers about providing a statutory stray dog service pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The procurement process is scheduled to integrate market capacity and service delivery models to craft a structured strategy and potential contract options. Suppliers interested in participating should complete the market engagement questionnaire by 24 March 2026. The project's initial contract is planned to commence on 1 October 2026 and conclude on 30 September 2028, within Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community services, veterinary services, urban cleaning and sanitation, and dog kennelling. Suitable candidates include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can offer expertise in service delivery models and pricing structures for the collection, management, and potential rehoming of stray dogs. The process seeks to secure a legally compliant, stable, and cost-effective service, offering businesses the chance to influence future contract structures and pricing models while contributing to public service improvement within the Wolverhampton locality.

## Notice

The Stray Dog Collection and Kennelling Project is a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise issued by Wolverhampton City Council to gather market insight ahead of procuring a statutory stray dog service under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 As the Council currently operates without an in-house provision or contracted provider, the project seeks to understand market capacity, service delivery models, pricing structures, and contract options for the collection, kennelling, potential rehoming, and lawful management of stray dogs across the Wolverhampton boundary. The PME will inform the future procurement strategy, including decisions on contract structure (single or multi-lot), duration, pricing model, mobilisation timelines, compliance requirements, and risk management, ensuring the Council secures a legally compliant, stable, and value-for-money service.
