## About this tender

### THIS CONTRACT HAS NOW BEEN AWARDED

Section 68 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act removes the responsibility for stray dogs with the exception of dangerous dogs, from the police leaving local authorities in England and Wales with sole responsibility for dealing with stray dogs from April 2008.

Local Authorities duties are to collect and detain stray dogs, return seized dogs to their owners, keep a register of stray dogs and retain the dogs for a period of 7 days, after which they cease to be the Council’s responsibility.

The Council does not directly employ a dog warden and does not have any kennels which can be used for the kennelling of stray dogs so requires a contractor to fulfil the Councils statutory duty with regard to stray dogs.

## CPV classification

Dog kennel services
