    Brief

    Leicester City Council is undertaking a soft market test for its Pet Boarding service as part of a recommissioning review. This is not a formal tender or competitive bidding process. The council invites potential providers and stakeholders to express interest and share views on the proposed service model and specification principles. Feedback from this market test will help commissioners evaluate options and refine the service specification. Formal tenders are anticipated in October 2026, with a new contract expected to commence on 1 October 2027, following the end of the current contract. Responses to this soft market test will not be formally evaluated against set criteria, and no feedback will be provided. This process is solely for market testing and information gathering purposes.
