NTNU seeks external consulting support to manage the complete financial lifecycle of projects funded under the EU Framework Programme for research and innovation, including Horizon Europe and the forthcoming Horizon 2028 cycle. The contractor will supplement NTNU’s internal project economists in monitoring budgets, preparing financial reports, and ensuring compliance with EU guidelines for project finance as well as NTNU’s own reporting templates. The role encompasses handling applications, coordinating multi‑partner budgeting, producing internal status updates, and communicating clearly with both internal stakeholders and external partners throughout the project life cycle.

The services will be performed at NTNU’s premises in Trondheim and must cover a portfolio of projects belonging to one or more NTNU entities, with occasional limited assignments. The consultant must deliver desk‑based work with minimal travel, maintain clear records, and support NTNU’s efforts to meet climate and environmental considerations as stipulated in the public procurement regulations. The contractor must adhere to EU financial guidelines, NTNU reporting protocols, and the climate‑impact exemption provisions for consultant and analysis services.

Avfall Sør Husholdning A.S. seeks a contractor to execute a comprehensive, environmentally responsible bio‑waste management system. The contract will cover collection from residents and commercial customers throughout the owner municipalities, transport of the collected materials to the Støleheia facility, and treatment at an external facility equipped to meet current regulations. The procurement aims to secure a seamless transition of household bio‑waste collection from the existing weekly schedule to a bi‑weekly cadence, reflecting a strategic shift toward enhanced sorting and higher removal of food waste from general residue streams.

The selected tenderer must provide a robust logistics chain that supports predictable operation over the contracted period, including the handling of items from household, garden, park and commercial waste streams. Service providers will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the new Manure Products Regulation effective 2025, delivering stringent quality assurance, documentation, traceability, internal control and product responsibility standards. The goal is to treat the bio‑waste as a circular resource, enabling material or energy recovery in accordance with regional sustainable waste management policies. The contract, valid for one year with optional annual extensions for up to three additional years, will involve the entire value chain from receipt at Støleheia to final treatment at an authorized external facility. The essential technical requirement is adherence to the Manure Products Regulation’s strict regulatory framework.

Vennesla municipality is seeking a complete, fill‑free artificial grass system for the Moseidmoen training ground to replace a worn and uneven surface that no longer meets current football performance and safety standards. The new installation is intended to provide a smooth, durable playing field suitable for use in Nordic conditions, while reducing long‑term maintenance needs and supporting the municipality’s sustainability objectives. The procurement emphasizes a system that delivers reliable cushioning, stable playability, and minimal operational impact throughout the year.

The contract covers the supply, delivery and on‑site assembly of the artificial grass cover, an elastic padding layer, markings and all ancillary work required for completion as defined in the tender documentation. Ground preparation is handled under a separate agreement, and the selected contractor will conduct pre‑work inspections of the substrate, report any deviations, and incorporate necessary fine screeds, cleaning and minor adjustments that result from weather or normal substrate changes. Upon hand‑over the contractor must provide full documentation, including maintenance instructions, test reports and match‑condition data, ensuring the system meets all stipulated quality and testing requirements.

The artificial turf must satisfy the Ministry of Culture’s 2019 football artificial grass specifications and comply with NS‑EN 15330‑1:2013, including documented quality standards, testing, and the restriction that stabilising sand may only be used in outer zones beyond one metre from the sideline and cannot contain synthetic materials.

The dynamic procurement scheme that Telemark Innkjøpssamarbeid is establishing is intended for the supply of specialist consultancy services in the technical sector for a cluster of municipalities in Telemark. The scheme will operate as a two‑stage process, beginning with a qualification phase that allows suppliers to demonstrate competence in one or more of the twenty‑four defined disciplines. Once qualified, suppliers will be invited to compete in “mini‑competitions” that are triggered on a demand‑basis by the participating municipalities.

The twenty‑four disciplines cover a broad spectrum of architectural, engineering and environmental expertise, ranging from architectural and civil‑architectural services to specialist disciplines in HVAC, waterworks, electro‑mechanics, geotechnical engineering, acoustics and land acquisition, among others. Qualified firms may offer services across multiple disciplines, but each discipline is judged and contracted independently. The system is designed to allow new qualified suppliers to be engaged for as long as the scheme remains active, providing flexibility for municipalities to address changing technical needs over time.

All consultancy services supplied under this scheme must meet the applicable Norwegian regulations and professional standards for the respective technical disciplines.

The Telemark Innkjøpssamarbeid consortium, representing several municipalities in Telemark, has introduced a dynamic purchasing system to acquire and lease passenger cars, multi‑purpose vehicles, goods vans under 3.5 tonnes, and minibuses with up to 17 seats. The scheme covers both new and used vehicles, allowing municipalities to choose the most suitable option for each transport need while prioritising climate‑friendly alternatives. The contracting authority is explicitly seeking fossil‑free vehicles—emission‑free, hybrid, electric, hydrogen or gas models—whenever they meet the essential operational requirements, and is increasingly open to adopting used vehicles as part of a circular economy strategy.

In addition to vehicle acquisition, the dynamic procurement framework will cover ancillary services such as service agreements, post‑warranty repairs and spare parts, tyre storage and replacement, loan or hire vehicles, and coordinated delivery and collection for maintenance activities. Qualification for suppliers requires delivery capabilities and workshop presence within specified geographical zones, with notification of opportunities sent through the Artifik platform once a zone is qualified. The vehicle fleet must comply with the principle that fossil‑free options are preferred whenever feasible and that circular economy principles are respected for used fleet integration.
