Lot 1 covers collection of stray dogs, while Lot 2 covers kennelling. Each lot is intended to result in a separate single-supplier contract. The work is classified as animal husbandry, civic-amenity, dog kennel and related services. Staffordshire County Council is supporting the procurement and operating the process on behalf of the district council. This opportunity is relevant to organisations that collect stray dogs, operate kennels, or can provide one of these services as a dedicated contract. The requirement is for services rather than goods, construction or consultancy. The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 23 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 28 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed in English. The planned award decision date was 1 February 2027. Contracts were scheduled from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with two one-year extension options to 31 January 2031 and a six-month break clause dependent on local government reorganisation. Lot 1, collection, had an estimated gross value of £51,609.60. Lot 2, kennelling, had an estimated gross value of £132,710.40. Each lot was evaluated 55% on quality and 45% on price. The opportunity suits specialist stray-dog collection providers, kennel operators and organisations able to deliver either service as a single supplier. Both lots were identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so the requirement is not limited to large commercial contractors. Bidders need to demonstrate the economic and technical standing required by the tender documents. Providers should also be able to deliver services efficiently and cost-effectively while meeting the council’s statutory responsibilities and maintaining the welfare of dogs in their care. Businesses with established operational capacity in collection or kennelling, and experience of managing animal welfare responsibilities in a public-service setting, are likely to be best placed to compete. ## Notice South Staffordshire Council wish to award contracts for stray dog services - a single supplier contract for stray dog collection services, and a single supplier contract for kennelling services.
