What is being bought

Published requirement description

In accordance with section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, Ashford Borough Council has a statutory requirement to deal with stray dogs within the borough. The successful bidder will be required to accommodate the dogs in kennels for the statutory 7-day period. After this time, dogs become the property of the kennels and are available for re-homing. This contract is aimed at the provision of kennelling for the statutory 7-day period to allow owners to collect dogs and to arrange suitable rehoming of dogs where an owner does not come forward within the statutory period.
