## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has awarded a contract titled "Pet Kennelling Service," part of the "General public services" industry category. This contract awards Nivensknowe Kennels the service of providing kennelling accommodation for pets of individuals in temporary accommodation, specifically within the region of UKM75, Edinburgh. The procurement process utilised was a limited procurement method, which did not require prior publication of a call for competition, and the contract's procurement stage is complete. The estimated value of the contract is £332,245, and the contract was signed on 25 March 2026, with an effective process completion date of 8 April 2026. The service was awarded due to the light touch procurement process, directing the award to the existing provider as they were the sole respondent to the prior information notice.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in pet care and accommodation services, particularly those capable of managing a high volume of temporary kennelling requirements. Although this specific contract has been directly awarded, businesses looking to enter this sector may benefit from positioning themselves as potential suppliers for future service expansions or other similar service requirements within council operations. SMEs like Nivensknowe Kennels that specialise in this niche market could consider demonstrating their capability and reliability to government buyers to increase their chances of being considered for direct awards in future procurements.
