Doffin: how to find the right tenders
Doffin is Norway's official notification system for public procurement. Every tender above the national thresholds has to be published there. Here's how to use it without drowning in noise.
What is Doffin?
Doffin (the Database for offentlige innkjøp) is operated by DFØ and contains every public procurement notice in Norway. Searching and reading notices is free.
Search tips for Doffin
Combine CPV codes with keywords for the best signal-to-noise ratio. Filter by geography, contracting authority and contract type. Remember that different buyers describe the same service in very different ways — covering synonyms matters.
Setting up alerts
Doffin offers basic email alerts, but they tend to be far too broad. Tenderen layers AI-driven matching on top, surfacing the most relevant opportunities based on your company profile and bid history — not just keywords.
