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.

    Vågå kommune skal inngå en rammeavtale om maskinentreprenørtjenester mv. Anskaffelsens formål er å dekke Vågå kommunes behov for leveranse av anleggs- og entreprenørtjenester til Vågå kommune innen følgende fagfelt: 1. Maskinentreprenørtjenester (anleggsarbeid, grunnarbeid, betong, maskiner m.m.) 2. VVA anleggsarbeider 3. Rørleggertjenester (utomhus) Eksempler på oppdrag som det kan være aktuelt å få gjennomført innenfor denne rammeavtalen fremgår av bilag 1. Størrelsen på oppdragene kan variere i omfang. Arbeidsoppdragene kan være kortvarige eller av lengre varighet. Det kan være et enkeltstående oppdrag eller flere sammenhengende oppdrag. Det vil imidlertid også følge med leveranse av noe materiell, da det i mange tilfeller vil være hensiktsmessig at leverandøren har med seg det materiellet som er nødvendig knyttet til utførelsen av det aktuelle oppdraget. Selv om anskaffelsen omfatter noe materiell, understrekes at denne avtalen ikke gir noen eksklusiv rett på levering av slikt materiell, og at oppdragsgiver ellers ikke er forpliktet til å kjøpe materiell av tjenesteleverandøren. Deler av arbeidet kan foregå i samarbeid med oppdragsgivers eget personell eller andre leverandører. Vågå kommune vil inngå parallell rammeavtale med to leverandører. For avrop som har en antatt estimert verdi opp til kr. 500 000, vil oppdrag tildeles ved tilbudsforespørsel der leverandør nummer 1 spørres først, deretter nr. 2. For oppdrag der antatt estimert verdi er over kr. 500 000 vil det gjennomføres minikonkurranse.

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.
