Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
A contract of this size and specialism would likely rule out small businesses without their own licensed kennelling facilities, secure transport, qualified staff able to handle dangerous dogs, and an established veterinary arrangement that can scale to the required level.
