Formålet med markedsdialogen er å få innsikt i markedets vurderinger av den planlagte leveransen og utkast til kravspesifikasjon.

Leverandørene inviteres til å gi skriftlige tilbakemeldinger på spørsmålene i dialogskjemaet. Fjellinjen er også interessert i øvrige innspill som kan bidra til å forbedre konkurransegrunnlaget, tydeliggjøre ansvarsdeling og sikre en balansert og fremtidsrettet leveransemodell. Innspillene vil bli brukt som del av forberedelsen av anskaffelsen. Deltakelse i markedsdialogen er frivillig og er ikke en forutsetning for å kunne delta i en senere konkurranse.

Integrations / API

Works with the Apify API, Schedules, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n and MCP. Example:

curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/datadesk-io~norway-tenders-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keywords": ["programvare"], "status": ["ACTIVE"], "daysBack": 60, "maxTenders": 100}'

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("datadesk-io/norway-tenders-scraper").call(run_input={"keywords": ["programvare"], "status": ["ACTIVE"], "daysBack": 60, "maxTenders": 100})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

MCP

Use this Actor from an MCP client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) through the Apify MCP server (datadesk-io/norway-tenders-scraper).

Alerts mode

Turn on the Only new option and schedule the Actor daily: each run returns only tenders not seen in earlier runs with the same alerts key (nothing is charged when there is nothing new).

FAQ

Do I need a key? No. The Actor reads the same public search as doffin.no.

Can I get every notice ever published? Doffin exposes at most 1,000 hits per query, so the Actor splits long periods into weekly windows automatically.

Are documents included? No: you get structured data and the notice link; documents are on Doffin.

Limitations

• Doffin exposes the top 1,000 hits per query; the Actor splits by week when daysBack is set.
• Estimated value is empty for most notices.
• Descriptions are short summaries, not the full tender documents.

Support
