The Council employs a team of Neighbourhood Wardens to carry out the seizing of stray dogs. The availability of a high quality and reliable local kennels to safely house stray dogs for the seven day statutory period is key to the delivery of a quality service to the public. As a minimum, the kennels' operator must be able to accept strays at any time of the day or night, and must be available to allow owners to re-claim their dogs, once the relevant release fee has been paid to the Council. As the Council's Neighbourhood Wardens are only employed to work during normal office hours, the successful tenderer must also provide an in and out of hours' reception point to which the Council and members of the public can deliver stray dogs. This will involve managing an out of hours telephone service.The location and proximity of the contractors kennelling and reception point is important to the council because dogs which are transported excessive distances will place an undue burden on members of the public delivering and collecting dogs. Therefore the council will only consider tenderers from contractors who's facility can be reached by road within 30 minutes from NG5 6LU (based on the journey beginning at 15.00, Monday to Friday).
