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.
The responsibility for the care of stray pets, or animals whose owner is temporarily unable to care for them, lies with 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.
02Strategic insight
During the dialogue, focus on mitigating real estate risks and the specific requirements for the housing. Ensure solid financial security for the necessary investments in the new construction. Given the 24-hour availability requirement, a robust operational plan is essential.
