Description

The City of Edinburgh Council has a statutory duty to look after a client’s personal belongings whilst they take temporary accommodation due to homelessness. This extends to an individual’s pet. The service does not currently allow pets to be taken into temporary accommodation properties so in order to make provision for the kennelling of cats, dogs and other pets the Council is required to make suitable arrangements to provide kennelling services, until individuals are able to care for their pets again.

Total Quantity or Scope

Kennelling of pets aims to provide: - Suitable animal boarding accommodation; - Good and safe facilities; and - A contractual agreement that will enhance service delivery. The service provider(s) is to provide boarding/kennelling services on behalf of the Council. The service provider(s) will be expected to accommodate a range of animals including, but not limited to: dogs, cats and small animals. Pets should have access to a clean/wholesome source of drinking water and are to be supplied with food which is nutritionally suitable based on the type of pet and its age, size, health and any special dietary requirements. The Council will normally refer service users to the service provider(s) between 08.30 and 17.30 Mondays to Thursdays and 08.30 and 16.30 on Fridays.
