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.

    Oslo kommune fikk i 2019 en ny, felles visuell identitet, som skal implementeres frem mot 2023. Felles visuell identitet skal styrke Oslo kommune som én aktør. Kommunikasjonen skal fremstå helhetlig og det skal tydelig fremgå hvilke tjenester, tilbud og opplevelser Oslo kommune står bak, for alle som har kontakt med kommunen. Kommunen får felles maler og bildearkiv, og et nytt designverktøy for enkle grafiske produksjoner. Inngåelse av samkjøpsavtaler skal bidra til at Oppdragsgiver når sitt mål om å utnytte sine stordriftsfordeler ved å effektivisere og standardisere kommunens anskaffelser. Avtaleområdet er valgt ut på bakgrunn av muligheten for å nå dette målet. Samkjøpsavtalen skal dekke Oppdragsgivers behov for trykkeritjenester.

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.
