To do this, the Council requires the services of a boarding kennel for the care of any stray dogs seized. The Council's appointed officer(s) will be responsible for collecting, transporting and returning strays. The kennel is asked to provide care to any strays received from the Council until the dog is returned to its owner (normally within 7 days). The kennel is also asked to take ownership of any unclaimed dog until the kennel is able to rehome the animal. Information on the Council's stray dog service and policy can be found at [shepway.gov.uk](https://www.shepway.gov.uk/environmental-protection/dogs-and-problem-dogs/report-a-stray-dog). Kennels should be located within 20 miles of Civic Centre, Castle Hill Avenue, Folkestone CT20 2QY and hold a current Dog Boarding Licence in compliance with The Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963. The Contract is anticipated to commence upon 1st February 2018 and will continue for a period of 3 years with the option to extend by a further 2 years. ## CPV classification Dog kennel services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/1303684e-fa86-45d0-82cc-804450878876) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
