Procurement of 1 young dog for a search dog - The Norwegian Correctional Service

The Norwegian Correctional Service needs a young dog for a search dog for delivery by the end of March 2026. The need can be covered by a green dog, or a trained dog. The tender offer with the best overall score will win the competition and a contract will be awarded for delivery. Aptitude testing of the dogs offered will be performed during week 8 or 9/2026. Search dogs are trained to respond and mark different types of smell images in different environments. Within the search dogs category, dogs are trained to search for, but not limited to, drugs, flammable liquids, explosives, blood, semen, currency, weapons, buried corpses and corpses. The dogs must be able to work in different types of environments such as indoors, outdoors, height, dark, moving surfaces and slippery surfaces. The search dog must withstand the mental stresses this can cause. The breeds used today are mainly based on retriever breeds and spaniel breeds. The customer will require final internal approval and confirmation of funding before a contract is entered into.
