ParameterRequirementJSON typeDescription
queryoptionalstringFree-text search (Norwegian or English), e.g. "IT-drift", "snørydding", "rammeavtale konsulent". Start here.
typesoptionalunionFilter by notice type. Parent types: PLANNING, COMPETITION, RESULT. Specific types: ANNOUNCEMENT_OF_COMPETITION, DYNAMIC_PURCHASING_SCHEME, QUALIFICATION_SCHEME, ANNOUNCEMENT_OF_INTENT, PRE_ANNOUNCEMENT, ADVISORY_NOTICE, NOTICE_ON_BUYER_PROFILE, ANNOUNCEMENT_OF_CONCLUSION_OF_CONTRACT, CHANGE_OF_CONCLUSION_OF_CONTRACT, CANCELLED_OR_MISSING_CONCLUSION_OF_CONTRACT. Use ["COMPETITION"] + statuses=["ACTIVE"] for open tenders.
statusesoptionalunionACTIVE (open for bids), EXPIRED, AWARDED, CANCELLED.
contract_natureoptionalunionWORKS, SERVICES and/or SUPPLIES.
cpv_codesoptionalunion8-digit CPV codes, e.g. ["45000000"]. Matches the code and its children. Find codes with search_cpv_codes(). Best combined with a free-text query.

buyeroptionalunionBuyer organization full name(s) exactly as written on notices, e.g. ["Trondheim kommune"]. Resolved to Doffin's internal buyer id via a free-text lookup; names that match no buyer are reported in "note" and, if none match, no results are returned (rather than an unfiltered search). Pass the 32-hex buyer id from a result's buyer field directly to skip the lookup.
winneroptionalunionDoffin's internal supplier id (32-hex). Winner names cannot be used - they are not present in search results to resolve against.

    Intensjonskunngjøring - overgang til ny tjenestemodell
    description:
    Alta kommune har til intensjon å inngå kontrakt med Sikri AS for overgang fra Elements OnPrem til Elements Cloud. Dette er en revisjon og videreføring av nåværende sak og arkivsystem til sky for Alta kommune, levert i en ny leveransemodell. For å kunne utnytte de mulighetene som ligger i alltid å kjøre på siste versjon må kommunen bytte leveransemodell. Det betyr å flytte løsningen ut i leverandørens sky-tjeneste. Da det ikke er andre aktører som kan migrere vårt Sak- og arkivsystem inn i leverandørens skyløsning, kommer FOA § 5-2 (1) (a) og § 13-4 (b) 2 i anskaffelsesforskriften til anvendelse. Det er teknisk umulig for en annen leverandør å få til en gjennomføring, og det er nødvendig å anvende spesifikk kunnskap, spesifikke verktøy eller midler, som kun én bestemt leverandør har til sin rådighet. Alta kommune kunngjør med dette etter FOA § 21-5 intensjonskunngjøring at kommunen har til intensjon å inngå avtale om overgang til skybasert løsning for sak- og arkivsystemet Elements. Dette er en oppgradering av nåværende sak og arkivløsning for Alta kommune levert i en ny leveransemodell. Systemet brukes i dag som en lokal serverbasert løsning. Det er behov for økt funksjonalitet og forutsigbar drift gjennom overgang til skybasert løsning. Alta kommune har til intensjon å inngå kontrakt med Sikri AS for oppgradering av denne leveransemodellen senest 26.05.2025. Frist for innsigelser er satt til 19.05.2025.

How an AI agent should use this page

Ground rule: Navigate with HTML GET links to keep explanations and relationships. Use the page's JSON alternative only when concrete values must be extracted, compared or computed.

How to use the search_doffin lookup

  1. Replace the placeholders in the HTML GET template; remove optional parameters you do not need.
  2. Check types, units, limits and ID formats in the parameter table.
  3. Follow linked results to canonical pages before combining sources.

Misreading to avoid: An empty list means "no results for this lookup". An error message or unavailable source does not mean the data does not exist.

Source-specific next step

Go to the source page for other operations. Use the JSON template only after the HTML result shows that the parameters and source are correct.
