## Summary

Wyre Borough Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the provision of stray dog collection and kennelling services, classified under the environmental services industry category. This process involves a market engagement initiative, aiming to gauge interest and capacity within the local market, and potentially inform future procurement decisions. Interested parties are encouraged to respond to a market engagement questionnaire by 31st August 2026. This initiative is centred around the region, UKD, within the United Kingdom, and seeks to ensure the Council's compliance with its statutory responsibilities under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Notably, this is not yet a formal procurement exercise.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), to position themselves as service providers for a valuable municipal service. This soft market testing exercise allows companies to express their interest and demonstrate their capability to provide the specified services, potentially earning a share of the estimated £50,000 service value. Organisations experienced in environmental services, especially those based in or capable of servicing the Wyre area, would find this opportunity suitable to expand their portfolio and gain municipal influence.

## Notice

Wyre Council is undertaking a soft market testing exercise to assess the level of interest and capacity within the local market for the provision of stray dog kennelling services. This exercise is intended to inform future procurement considerations and help the Council understand the availability of suitable providers both within Wyre and the surrounding areas. The Council has a statutory responsibility under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to make arrangements for dealing with stray dogs and is seeking feedback from organisations that may be interested in delivering these services. This engagement is for market research purposes only and does not constitute a formal procurement exercise, invitation to tender, or commitment by Wyre Council to proceed with any future procurement.
