Generated JavaScript, Python and response structure

Use JSON when the user requests code, machine-readable data, value extraction or further computation. Use the HTML GET page to identify the correct source and verify parameters.

    Intensjonskunngjøring - flytekai/flytemolo
    description:
    Anskaffelsen planlegges gjort som en direkte anskaffelse fra Marina Harbour Solutions AS, med hjemmel i FOA § 5-2 (1) bokstav a. Løsningen som skal leveres er et utprøvd system for flytemolo med kjeller for lagring av utstyr, samt tilkoblede flytebrygger for etablering av kommunal servicehavn på Ballstad. Etter en markedsundersøkelse har ikke Vestvågøy kommune funnet andre potensielle leverandører enn Marina Harbour Solutions AS. Det er gjennomført dialog med andre som har kunngjort konkurranser om tilsvarende løsninger, der det ikke har kommet inn andre tilbud enn fra Marina Harbour Solutions AS. Etter vår kjennskap er det således kun én bestemt leverandør i markedet som kan dekke behovet i forbindelse med denne anskaffelsen. Vestvågøy kommune har som intensjon å inngå kontrakt med Marina Harbour Solutions AS dersom ikke andre leverandører melder seg innen ti virkedager regnet fra dagen etter datoen for denne kunngjøringen, tidligst 17.04.2026.

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.
