Norway – Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products – Procurement of one young dog for a search dog - the Norwegian Armed Forces

The Norwegian Armed Forces requires a young dog that shall be trained as a search dog with drugs. The need shall be covered with green search developed dogs. It is desirable that the dog is handed over for the completed test, or shortly after the test has been carried out. The suitability test will be carried out as agreed in October 2026 at The Norwegian Defence's dog school, Haugersetervegen 203, 2055 Nordkisa. Tenderers with a large number of relevant and available dogs can, upon agreement, have their tests assessed at the tenderer. This will be particularly assessed against the Contracting Authority's need for each procurement. Search dogs have education in responding and highlighting the different types of odour pictures in different environments. In the search dogs category, dogs are trained to search for, for example, but not limited to drugs, flammable fluids, explosives, blood, semen, currency, weapons, buried corpses and corpses. The dog must be able to work in different types of environments such as, among other things, inside, outside, height, darkness, movable surfaces and underlay. The search dog shall tolerate the mental stress this can cause. The current breeds are mainly based on retriever breeds and spaniel breeds. Breeds with genetic traits that involve congenital defence ability and sharpness are not considered relevant. The final approval and sufficient financing are subject to signing of the contract before the contract is signed.
