Provision of Dog Warden Service
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Provision of the outcome of the European
tender process for the provision of the Dog Control Service by
private contractor.
Decision:
That the Dog Warden Service Contract be awarded to the private contractor as stated in the report for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for two further periods of between 1 and 5 years.
Reasons for the decision:
The contract specifications and tender submission by the recommended contractor will ensure enhanced services to the Council and Breckland residents and represents best value, with a financial saving for the Dog Warden Service of just under £25,000 on the current budget provision.
Alternative options considered:
- Not extend the existing dog control contract and run the risk that there will be no provision after April 2015.
- Accept the recommended contractor to provide the Dog Warden Services to the Council over the next three years with an option to extend the contract for a further two years.
