Blackpool Council is looking to appoint a provider of a dog kennelling establishment to operate as an acceptance point to receive stray dogs from members of the public/Dog Warden, that have been picked up within the boundaries of Blackpool Council. The service will include call handling requirements during opening hours, kennelling and the re-homing of stray dogs.

This may be increased or decreased throughout the contract lifetime subject to review and

capacity demand.

around November and December. A guideline of 50 extra kennel spaces a year is given as an

estimate but this number is subject to change and may increase or decrease accordingly.

It is anticipated that the contract term will be from 18 December 2023 to 17 December

2028, with the option to extend incrementally for a period of 2 years on a 1 year + 1 year basis

(subject to contract review and budget availability).

Delivery: North West
