This procurement falls under the services category and is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 8th May 2019. The contract will be executed in Hamilton, Scotland, and parties interested in bidding are encouraged to prepare ahead of the impending tender announcement. This opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses involved in animal welfare, veterinary services, or kennel operations to engage with a local authority contract. Companies that can demonstrate capacity to care for stray dogs, provide veterinary support, and ideally facilitate rehoming efforts would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this tender allows businesses to contribute to public service while potentially expanding their operational scope through established contracts with local government entities. ## Notice The Council are seeking a provider to kennel stray dogs as per the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which places a duty on local authorities to deal with stray dogs. Section 149 (6) (d) allows the local authority to sell or give away to an establishment that receives stray dogs, any stray dog that has not been claimed by the owner within 7 days. Section 149 (9) places a duty on the local authority to ensure that detained strays are properly fed and maintained. The current negotiated contract allows the Council to fulfil these statutory obligations as the Provider employs vets, enabling strays to be checked and therefore will be maintained properly and also humanely destroyed if the dog was suffering, with a view to dogs being rehomed. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The current agreement allows the Council to fulfil the statutory obligations as the provider employs a vet, so stray dogs are checked and maintained properly, also humanely destroyed if the dog was suffering in anyway. It would be preferred that any treatment required be carried out in the same establishment that receives strays, after the statutory 7 day holding period. From a moral perspective, it would be preferred that dogs are rehomed where possible rather than destroyed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR350799 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 May 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | HAMILTON | | Post town | Motherwell | | Postcode | ML3 0AA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | | Local authority | South Lanarkshire | | Electoral ward | Hamilton North and East | | Westminster constituency | Hamilton and Clyde Valley | | Delivery location | TLM95 South Lanarkshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98380000 - Dog kennel services ## Release History - 8 Apr 2019 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR350799 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR350799 SLC Kennelling of Stray Dogs - The Council are seeking a provider to kennel stray dogs as per the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which places a duty on local authorities to deal with stray dogs.
