Replace {query}, {types}, {statuses}, {contract_nature}, {cpv_codes}, {locations}, {buyer}, {winner}, {date_from}, {date_to}, {sort_by}, {page}, {hits_per_page}, {include_placeholders} with values. Remove unused optional parameters from the URL.

For software and dashboards: Read the operation descriptor. The JSON GET template is https://allemannsdata.com/wiki/api/v1/kilder/doffin/search_doffin?query=&types={types}&statuses={statuses}&contract_nature={contract_nature}&cpv_codes={cpv_codes}&locations={locations}&buyer={buyer}&winner={winner}&date_from={date_from}&date_to={date_to}&sort_by=RELEVANCE&page=1&hits_per_page=10&include_placeholders=false&limit=25&offset=0. Open this exact request as JSON.

Parameter	Requirement	JSON type	Description
`query`	optional	string	Free-text search (Norwegian or English), e.g. "IT-drift", "snørydding", "rammeavtale konsulent". Start here.
`types`	optional	union	Filter 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.
`statuses`	optional	union	ACTIVE (open for bids), EXPIRED, AWARDED, CANCELLED.
`contract_nature`	optional	union	WORKS, SERVICES and/or SUPPLIES.
`cpv_codes`	optional	union	8-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.
`locations`	optional	union	NUTS-style location ids, e.g. ["NO060"] (Trøndelag), or "anyw" for non-location-bound. See list_location_codes().
`buyer`	optional	union	Buyer 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.
`winner`	optional	union	Doffin's internal supplier id (32-hex). Winner names cannot be used - they are not present in search results to resolve against.
`date_from`	optional	union	Publication date lower bound, "YYYY-MM-DD".

`sort_by`	optional	string	RELEVANCE (default), PUBLICATION_DATE_DESC, PUBLICATION_DATE_ASC, DEADLINE, ESTIMATED_VALUE_ASC, ESTIMATED_VALUE_DESC.
`page`	optional	integer	1-based page number.
`hits_per_page`	optional	integer	1-50 (default 10).
`include_placeholders`	optional	boolean	By default, hits whose buyer fields look like unfilled eForm template values (org id 123456789, placeholder buyer names) are dropped from the results as junk. Set True to keep them, each flagged with "possible_placeholder": true.
`limit`	optional	integer	Gateway page size; default 25, maximum 100.
`offset`	optional	integer	Number of list items to skip; default 0.

Contract award notice - Cancellation of Pre-qualification
description:
The Norwegian Defence Materiel agency received a question on Thursday 23 April regarding Pre-Qualification requirement 4 (QR4) relating to this Pre-Qualification. The question was: The wording in QR4 implies that manufacturers of STUAS for purposes similar to those described in the system description will automatically be rejected if they do not have experience producing VTOL UAS. Is this understood correctly? There are UAS systems that are highly relevant for use with CRDCO although they are not necessarily VTOL. Following a review, the NDMA has concluded that this requirement could unintentionally create an unnecessary restriction on potential suppliers at this stage of the procurement process. In light of this we are cancelling this Pre-Qualification. We will review and amend our requirements and ensure that all potential suppliers that meet our amended requirements can take part in this procurement process. We will re-publish the competition as soon as we have amended the qualification requirements . Answers to other questions received for this pre-qualification will be uploaded in the additional information tab in the re-published the competition/Pre-qualification. It will be re-published in the coming days.

Step 1 - Prequalification for procurement of "Software for Leakage Reduction and Sewerage System Outflow in Municipality of Trondheim"
description:
Trondheim Municipality, hereinafter referred to as the contracting authority, invites tenders for a contract in the project "Software for Leakage Reduction and Sewerage System Outflow in Municipality of Trondheim".Trondheim Municipality hereby announces that the competition is cancelled, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations § 21-4.In this competition, the contracting authority has set a qualification requirement that tenderers must have their tax and VAT matters in order, with an associated documentation requirement for the submission of an ordinary tax certificate and an extended tax certificate.During the pre-qualification process, it has become clear that the requirement to obtain an "extended tax certificate" creates challenges for foreign suppliers, as the companies must be established as a Norwegian registered foreign business (NUF).As the documentation requirement is currently formulated, foreign suppliers who have not established a NUF will, in reality, not have the opportunity to fully document that they meet the qualification requirement in the manner we have described. Alternative ways for foreign tenderers to document this have also not been specified. This is unfortunate and contributes to an unnecessary restriction of competition, without being required to achieve the purpose of the requirement. We therefore consider the requirement to be disproportionate and that it poses a risk of breaching the fundamental principles of the procurement regulations, particularly the principles of proportionality and equal treatment.It is not possible to change the documentation requirements for a qualification requirement at this time, as this would be a significant change that could affect the outcome of the competition. If the contracting authority must amend the tender documentation, and this cannot be done without making significant changes, the contracting authority will have a duty to cancel the competition.The contracting authority will make adjustments to the qualification requirement and then republish the competition shortly.

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

Replace the placeholders in the HTML GET template; remove optional parameters you do not need.
Check types, units, limits and ID formats in the parameter table.
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

Follow the notice ID to the canonical page; use CPV and location codes to narrow broad free-text searches.

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.
