This procurement process, classified under services and mainly focused on environmental protection, seeks to engage a contractor to supply one conservation rodent detection dog along with the necessary training and support for the handler. The tender was initiated on 4th November 2019 and submissions were accepted until 10th December 2019. The procurement method used is an open procedure, allowing for broad participation from interested suppliers. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in animal training, particularly those with experience in conservation and detection services. Companies equipped to deliver training and support for detection dogs, especially those familiar with handling conservation challenges and invasive species management, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this contract could not only lead to immediate business growth but also establish long-term relationships with a reputable organisation like RSPB Scotland, potentially paving the way for future collaborations in environmental preservation projects. ## Notice Tender for the supply of one (1) conservation rodent detection dog and associated training and support of dog-handler ### Lot Information Lot 1 The RSPB is, on behalf of the Biosecurity for LIFE partnership, seeking to obtain the services of an experienced conservation detection dog trainer with a proven track-record in training working dogs for the purposes of scent-detection work. We require one (1) dog trained to search for and indicate the presence of rats (Rattus sp.), the most common invasive mammal on the UK's islands. The dog must be trained to locate the target species by indicating sign, scent, live or dead animal, and must be trained to not react to non-target species. The dog will not be used to control the target species. The Contractor will be responsible for selecting, assessing and training one (1) dog that will obtain an interim certificate (see below) through an assessment carried out by an independent specialist. Not all puppies will be suitable for training as a conservation detection dog, and not all dogs in training will obtain the necessary skills and qualities to achieve an interim certificate. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to obtain a sufficient number of puppies to train to result in one (1) trained and certified dog. Following the interim certification, the Contractor will assist in pairing the dog with a dedicated handler ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV433015 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 10 Dec 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Dec 2019 | | Contract period | 18 Dec 2019 - 10 Dec 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £18,471 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RSPB SCOTLAND | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9DH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | KRYUS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80512000 - Dog training services ## Release History - 15 Nov 2021 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV433015 - 4 Nov 2019 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV370945 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=NOV370945&idx=1 4th November 2019 - Tender doc. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV370945 Biosecurity - Detection Dogs 2019 - Tender for the supply of one (1) conservation rodent detection dog and associated training and support of dog-handler - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV433015 Biosecurity - Detection Dogs 2019 - Tender for the supply of one (1) conservation rodent detection dog and associated training and support of dog-handler ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.rspb.org.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000602809 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/the-courts/sheriff-court/find-a-court ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
