Doffin Scraper: Norway Public Tenders (Anbud)

Doffin Scraper downloads Norwegian public tenders (offentlige anbud) from Doffin.no, Norway's official public procurement database, as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. You get calls for tender, contract awards and planned procurements with buyer, organisation number, deadline, estimated value in NOK and CPV codes.

Unlike a TED scraper, the Doffin Scraper also returns the many national Norwegian tenders below the EU threshold that never reach TED, so you see far more Norwegian procurement than EU-wide tools do.

What can the Doffin Scraper do?

• Search Norwegian public tenders by keyword, CPV code, region (NUTS), notice type and status.
• Get every hit: Doffin's own search stops at 1,000 results; this actor splits large searches into date windows automatically (tested: 1,587 of 1,587 notices for October 2026).
• Monitor new tenders daily: publishedWithinDays: 1 plus your CPV codes, on an Apify schedule.
• Optional details per notice: CPV codes, link to the tender documents (Mercell, TendSign, EU-Supply...), TED id, number of lots, winners and number of received tenders on contract awards.
• Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or push to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make or your CRM through Apify integrations.

Who uses Norwegian tender data?

• Bid teams and B2G sales: daily tender alerts for IT, consulting, cleaning, construction or healthcare.
• Lead generation: which municipalities and agencies buy what, and when (buyer org numbers match Brønnøysund).
• Market intelligence: contract awards and winners per buyer or sector, back to 2017.
• Researchers and journalists: public spending and competition in Norwegian procurement.

How much does it cost to scrape Doffin?

The actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay per notice returned plus a small fee per run. The exact prices are shown on the Pricing tab. With maxItems you control the maximum cost of a run. The scraper uses plain HTTP requests (no browser), so platform usage is very low: about $0.0014 for 177 notices with details in our tests. A daily alert for one sector typically returns 10-30 new notices a day.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Doffin? The actor reads only public notices that doffin.no shows to every visitor, without login, at a polite rate. The dataset Kunngjøringer av offentlige anskaffelser is listed as public on data.norge.no. Doffin is run by DFØ (Norwegian Agency for Public and Financial Management). This actor is not affiliated with Doffin or DFØ.

Does it cover tenders below the EU threshold? Yes. Those are published only on Doffin, not on TED.

Is there a Doffin API? Doffin has an official API that requires registration and a key. This actor needs no key and returns ready-to-use rows.

Can I get only new tenders? Yes. Schedule the actor daily with publishedWithinDays: 1.
