In plain English
Derbyshire County Council wants a pet boarding and animal care service for emergencies, when someone supported by Adult Social Care and Health can't look after their pet for a short time. The contract runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029 and is estimated at £135,000; it is set up as a framework, so a place on it is the entry ticket to future work, not guaranteed work.
Good fit for: Pet boarding kennels, catteries and animal care providers able to take animals at short notice.
