Details

The Councils have a statutory duty, under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, to collect and detain stray dogs found in the District. The duty to collect dogs brought to a nominated collection point outside normal core Council opening hours was placed upon the Council under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2007. The contract covers dogs found within the whole geographic area of Lewes & Eastbourne Councils, and therefore, providers should ensure that they are prepared to cover the service throughout the year at the rates they have provided. The Council has determined that only contractors based in East Sussex can bid apply for this contract. This decision is made in line with Article 3(3) of the 2026 Order, which enables local authorities to run a competition for a below-threshold contract in which contractors that are not based within the local area may not participate in, or progress as part of, the procurement. For the purposes of this procurement, the local area is East Sussex.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
