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.

winneroptionalunionDoffin's internal supplier id (32-hex). Winner names cannot be used - they are not present in search results to resolve against.

    Request for information for a new CBTC signalling system for Oslo Metro
    description:
    In 2013 Sporveien Oslo AS performed a concept study (KVU) for a new signaling system for the metro. The conclusion was that a Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) system with a semi-automatic train operation (STO) is the preferred solution. In 2014 Ruter has performed a quality assurance (KS1) of the above mentioned KVU, with the same conclusion. In 2015 Sporveien performed a pre-project (Forprosjekt) resulted in a Steering Document for the project. In 2016 Ruter has performed a quality assurance (KS2) of the above mentioned Steering Document, with a recommendation of the project. This Request For Information (RFI) is a follow-up of RFIs conducted in 2013 and 2015. These RFIs had the focus on defining a scope and a budget for the project. Now Sporveien is preparing for a Request For Quotation (RFQ), and the purpose of this RFI is to get a deeper knowledge on functionality, technology, capacity, implementation, operation, maintenance etc.

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.
