## Summary

Worthing Borough Council’s statutory stray-dog service is the subject of this procurement. The service includes kennelling for stray dogs, classified as dog kennel services (CPV 98380000). It is a service contract rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The contracting process covers one lot and identifies the United Kingdom as the delivery area; it does not name a more specific delivery location. The requirement supports the Council’s duty to provide a service for stray dogs. AlphaGuardK9 was selected to provide the service. This gives suppliers in dog kennelling and stray-animal services a clear indication of the type of provision the Council procures.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Worthing Borough Council used a limited competition below the relevant threshold. AlphaGuardK9 was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026, with a stated period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028 and a maximum extent date of 31 March 2031. The contract provides for an initial two years with potential extensions of 1+1+1 years. Its value is £151,200 excluding VAT and £181,440 including VAT. The award information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from Worthing Borough Council for a provider able to handle stray dogs and provide kennelling as part of a statutory service. AlphaGuardK9, an SME, was selected through a limited competition, demonstrating that a specialist small business can be appointed for this requirement. Suppliers positioning for similar council work should be able to deliver reliable stray-dog response and suitable kennel provision, with the operational capacity to maintain the service throughout the contract and any extensions. The requirement is focused on dog kennelling and stray-dog provision, so relevant experience in these services is more pertinent than general animal-related or facilities work.
