How to win their contracts

Measured from Direktoratet for samfunnssikkerhet og beredskap (DSB)'s own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 33 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 95 of their tenders.
• They publish about 1.6 tenders a month, measured over 66 months of history.
• Half of their 17 awarded contracts are worth kr5m or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories, construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction, postal and telecommunications services.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Egenes Brannteknikk AS (4), Telenor Norge AS (2), RelyOn Nutec Norway AS (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
