Description

St Helens Council are looking to test the market for potential providers who would be able to provide a kennelling service to fulfill our requirement under under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, local councils to treat all unaccompanied dogs on public land as strays, regardless of whether they are wearing a collar and disc or have been microchipped. The council must seize such dogs and if they cannot be returned immediately to their owner they must be taken to the council stray pounds where they are held for a mandatory period of 7 days. After the 7-day period, the dog legally becomes the property of the kennels and the kennels can either rehome the dog to a new owner, keep the dog at the kennels or, following veterinary advice, put the dog to sleep. The council would be looking to implement a 3 year contract, with a possible value of £16,000 per annum. In order to make the service accessible to the people of St Helens any provider would need to have a kennels within 15 miles of St Helens Town Centre.
