By Royal Decree of 4 November 2022, the Norwegian Government appointed a Commission to review the procurement legislation and set forth a proposal for a new regulatory framework. The Commission was asked to deliver its proposal in two separate reports and the first report was published 10 November 2023 and was titled NOU 2023: 26 Ny lov om offentlige anskaffelser . In the second part of the Commissions work, the Commission has been asked to look into more specific topics, such as security and preparedness considerations in public procurements, possible changes in procurement legislation in order to open procurements to local and regional suppliers, transparency in procurements procedures and to clarify the geographic scope of the procurement legislation. Furthermore, the Commission has been asked to review the rules on exclusion grounds and compensation for damages.
