## Summary

West Berkshire Council procured animal warden, kennelling and associated services, specifically out-of-hours and emergency collection of stray dogs. The requirement is a service involving dog collection and kennelling, with associated animal husbandry. It is intended to provide cover when stray dogs need to be collected outside normal hours or in emergencies. The work is for the Council in West Berkshire. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering the service requirement as a whole.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Noah’s Ark Environmental Services. The Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is for dog kennel and animal husbandry services. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend by two years, to 31 March 2031. The contract value is £89,775 excluding VAT (£107,730 including VAT). The award was made on a single lot. No specific evaluation criteria are recorded in the published process information.

This contract shows a recurring requirement from West Berkshire Council for out-of-hours and emergency stray-dog collections, alongside kennelling and related animal care. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable emergency response outside standard working hours, suitable arrangements for collecting and safely handling stray dogs, and kennel capacity to care for animals after collection. Experience delivering animal warden or comparable stray-animal services, with the operational resilience to maintain cover across the Council’s area, would be relevant. The selected supplier was an environmental services SME, demonstrating that a specialist small business can deliver this type of service. Suppliers should be able to show how their collection, handover and kennelling arrangements work together to provide a reliable end-to-end response.
