A short guide for suppliers. What you must submit in a specific competition is stated in the tender documents.
Go to Register as a supplier. Enter the Norwegian organisation number and we fetch the company name from the Central Coordinating Register. Foreign companies without a Norwegian number register with their country, registration number and name. Fill in the contact person's name, position, telephone and e-mail. You receive a link by e-mail that confirms the address. There is no password.
Under Log in, enter the e-mail address you registered with. You receive a login link by e-mail. The login lasts for two hours.
All published competitions are listed under Competitions. On the competition page you can download the tender documents, see changes and register your interest. If you register your interest, you receive an e-mail when something changes or a question is answered.
Ask questions about the competition on the competition page. The answers are published there, so all suppliers receive the same information.
When you are logged in, click “Submit tender” on the competition page. There you fill in the ESPD, answer the requirements and award criteria, enter the prices and read the contract terms, before you sign and submit. Everything is saved as you work. In some competitions you upload the tender as a file instead. One upload can be at most 100 MB.
The competition itself, including requirements and documents, is in the language the contracting authority wrote it in, usually Norwegian.
If the contracting authority asks for a clarification, supplementary documents or a correction, you receive an e-mail. You reply here, and the request is also listed under My tenders.
