What is being bought

This Request for Quote seeks a provider to operate the statutory stray dog reception, kennelling, and rehoming function on behalf of Cambridge City Council. The Council has a legal duty under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to collect and safely accommodate stray dogs found within the district. The appointed provider will receive dogs 7 days a week between 09:00-15:30 from authorised officers and 24 hours members of the public. Cambridge City Council does not have their own kennelling facility and therefore has a need to identify a provider to fulfil their responsibilities in terms of a reception and holding centre for stray dogs. CCC have contracted external kennelling to oversee the safe housing and welfare elements of this role, whilst CCC officers and members of the public will collect secured strays and deliver to the kennelling. This contract is open to all of Cambridgeshire Councils throughout the life of the contract including: South Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Peterborough City Council and Huntingdonshire District Council. The contract value may increase if any of these Councils join this contract.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 98. The category anchor is Dog kennel services (98380000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
