Market Insight
Market Insight gathers historical information about tenders that have been awarded in Norway. The information is sourced from Doffin and includes data going back to 2017. You get an overview of who has been awarded contracts, who has participated, and the value of the award. Use the insights to strengthen your competitive advantage, drive relationship-based sales, and see which public procurers need your products or services.
Navigation and Filtering
On the Market Insight page you get a complete overview of historical awards. You can use the filter panel to narrow down your analysis.
How to Use the Filters to Find Relevant Insights
To avoid scrolling through thousands of results, Cobrief gives you effective filters. These are especially useful for finding the most relevant insights. You can easily narrow down your search by filtering on:
Time and category: You can refine your search based on Publication date, as well as use Keywords, Service area or the official CPV codes for precise, industry-specific matches.
If you want to see which tenders a specific supplier has won or participated in, or get insight into the history of a specific procurer (for example Oslo Municipality), you can filter directly on these or choose the right view.
