Report ES15031

 

This was a report written by the Head of Environmental Protection to deal specifically with the Dog Kennelling contract.

 

The  Head of Environmental Protection explained to the Committee that the Council had set a programme to test the Market with regard to all Public Protection services, and this included the dog kennelling services. It was noted that the dog kennelling contract was in the process of being re-tendered, but that it was considered that this process be suspended to enable the overall Public Protection market testing to be aligned to incorporate the dog kennelling  services when the service is market tested.

 

It was noted that the statutory provisioning of kennelling was being undertaken by Woodlands Animal Care Ltd at an average cost (based on figures taken over the last three years) of £96.9k pa. It was confirmed that this cost was variable. 

 

 

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder agree to the extension of the LBB dog kennelling and re-homing services with Woodlands Animal Care Ltd for a period of 21 months to 30th April 2017.
