Summary, notice description and lot information
In August 2025, Leicester City Council completed a procurement process for the provision of dog kennelling and pet boarding services. This process was categorised under 'Other community, social and personal services' and was performed in the UK Midlands region. Initially, the tender was issued in January 2025, but due to the absence of received bids, the procurement stage concluded with a direct contract award.
This approach was in accordance with Regulation 32(2)(a) of the PCR 2015, reflecting the necessity of these services in fulfilling statutory duties under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Care Act 2014. The contract was subsequently awarded to ANIMAL CARE SERVICES MIDLANDS LIMITED in May 2025. This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in community services and care management sectors.
The direct award of this contract underscores the importance of maintaining a reliable service provider to meet statutory care and animal control requirements. Businesses with expertise in managing stray animals and providing boarding facilities could leverage similar future tenders to expand their service offerings and establish long-term partnerships with regional authorities. Engaging in such contracts not only supports community welfare but also offers a stable stream of government work and credibility within the public sector market.
Leicester City Council invited Tenders from Suppliers for the provision of dog kennelling and pet boarding services in January 2025. No tenders were received, the procurement exercise was aborted and a contract was direct awarded under Regulation 32(2)(a) of the PCR 2015 due to the service being a necessary and statutory offer within Adult Social Care given it helps the Authority meet its Care Act duties in relation to people's belongings. It is also a required service to manage appropriately any stray dogs in the city on behalf of NES.
