01What is being requested

The assignment concerns the animal shelter services for the care of dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and hobby animals in Almere. The contracted party is responsible for the full provision of services at its own expense and risk, including the realization of suitable housing on a plot made available by the municipality.

Dogs, cats, and rabbits are housed in the Almere Animal Shelter. Based on an exploration of how the municipality wishes to organize this task in the most optimal sense for the future, it has been decided that a single party will be contracted for this purpose.
