## Summary

Stirling Council is spearheading a joint procurement initiative, in conjunction with Police Scotland, Falkirk Council, and Clackmannanshire Council, to secure services for stray dog kennelling and rehoming. This planned procurement aims to cover essential services for stray dogs, including a seven-day kennelling period and subsequent rehoming support for dogs unclaimed after this period. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting the Forth Valley region (UKM77). Interested businesses should mark their calendars for an information session on the 19th of August, from 1 PM to 4:30 PM, at The Wallace Room, Stirling. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with more details forthcoming on the 3rd of November 2025.

This procurement process represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in animal care services, particularly those specialising in kennel management and animal welfare services. Companies with innovative approaches to kennelling and rehoming, and those capable of meeting statutory requirements for stray dog care, will find this tender especially beneficial for business growth. The collaborative nature of the procurement, involving multiple councils, indicates a considerable scope of work, necessitating businesses with the capacity for regional service provision. Engaging in the upcoming information session offers a chance to understand the project scope better and showcase potential solutions, a critical step for businesses aiming to establish or expand their footprint in public service procurement.
