## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council is in the planning stage of its procurement process for the "Kennelling of Stray Dogs" service. This initiative forms part of the services category and aims to secure contracts with providers that can offer kennelling and rehoming services for stray dogs across the North Yorkshire region (UKE2) in the United Kingdom. This procurement, with a gross value estimated at £510,000, was initiated with a market engagement notice published on 7th August 2026 and has set a future notice date for the 10th of August 2026. The contract is scheduled to commence on 18th January 2027 and potentially extend until 17th January 2032 subject to renewal assessments.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specialising in animal care services, particularly those with experience in kennel operations. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the dog kennel industry given the suitability criteria outlined for these businesses. With the North Yorkshire Council serving as the buying organisation, interested parties should prepare for competitive bidding and consider the potential to establish long-term partnerships through successful service delivery, given the contract's renewable nature. Engaging in this procurement process can enhance a company's visibility and reputation within the regional public services sector.
