Authority and procurement context
Norges Bank is listed as a body governed by public law, with general public services as its main activity. The available procurement history shows a broad base of recorded awards and renewals, with a substantial share connected to categories similar to this opportunity.
- Similar open tenders: 2 opportunities worth €13 million
- All open tenders: 4 opportunities worth €16 million
- Similar renewals: 171 opportunities worth €594 million
- All renewals: 355 opportunities worth €1 billion
- Similar contract awards: 330 contracts worth €1.4 billion
- All contract awards: 497 contracts worth €1.8 billion
- Other buyers with similar projects: 4.3K, associated value €15 billion
- Similar prior notices: 20 notices worth €128K
- All prior notices: 30 notices worth €128K
On the displayed figures, similar contract awards account for roughly two-thirds of the buyer’s recorded award count and close to four-fifths of recorded award value. Similar renewals account for roughly half of the recorded renewal count. These ratios are based on rounded Hermix totals, but they show that the categories surrounding this procurement recur frequently in the buyer’s procurement history.
The related notices section contains only the current contract notice published on 22 September 2026 at €12,898,787.51. No separate prior information notice or corrigendum is listed, so bidders should work from the live procurement materials available through the submission portal and monitor for any later amendments.
Competitive landscape
Hermix shows the following ten contractors in the visible winners-of-similar-contracts sample. The dataset is explicitly limited to 10 results, so it should be read as a sample of recorded comparable awards rather than a complete supplier ranking.
- KPMG: €44M across 15 contracts, average €3M
- ERNST & YOUNG: €51M across 12 contracts, average €4.3M
- PWC: €22M across 12 contracts, average €1.8M
- MNEMONIC: €27M across 9 contracts, average €3M
- CRAYON: €81M across 8 contracts, average €10M
- SOPRA: €57M across 8 contracts, average €7.1M
- CAPGEMINI: €37M across 8 contracts, average €4.6M
- EXPERIS: €50M across 7 contracts, average €7.1M
- DELOITTE: €29M across 7 contracts, average €4.1M
- BDO HOVEDENHET: €2.2M across 5 contracts, average €444K
The visible sample totals approximately €400.2 million using the rounded values shown. The three highest displayed totals by contract value, CRAYON (€81M), SOPRA (€57M) and ERNST & YOUNG (€51M), together represent about €189 million, or roughly 47% of that visible top-10 value. By contract count, KPMG leads the sample with 15 awards, followed by ERNST & YOUNG and PWC with 12 each. This points to a market where repeat awards are common, while contract sizes vary materially across suppliers.
The country data is also concentrated in Norway. The ten visible country results are: Norway €1.1B across 236 contracts, United Kingdom €195M across 52, United States €26M across 12, Sweden €5.8M across 5, Germany €21M across 4, Denmark €15M across 3, Ireland €2.6M across 1, Netherlands €2.2M across 1, Switzerland €1.4M across 1, and Hungary €666K across 1. Norway therefore dominates both value and contract count in the visible country sample.
Commercial and procedural signals
The procurement uses a negotiated procedure with prior publication of a call for competition, also described as competitive with negotiation. For bidders, this makes the qualification stage and the ability to respond through the negotiated procurement process important. It differs from a straightforward open procedure in which all compliant tenders proceed directly through a single competitive submission stage.
- Award criteria: Quality and Price are both identified. No percentages or weighting between them are stated.
- Language: offers must be submitted in Norwegian. Bid preparation therefore needs to account for the stated language requirement.
- Lot structure: a single lot covers project and programme management together with financial analysis, so the opportunity is presented as one combined procurement rather than separate lots by discipline.
- Duration: the framework runs for 48 months.
- Geography: the main place of performance is Oslo.
- Submission timeline: 27 calendar days separate the 22 September publication date from the 19 October 2026 deadline.
- EU funding: the procurement is not financed with EU funds.
- Related notices: no separate corrigendum is listed at this stage.
The combination of a single lot and a broad classification set deserves attention during qualification. The opportunity groups project and programme management with financial analysis, while the associated classifications also cover consultancy, software, computer support, research and financial management. Bidders should use the procurement materials to determine the exact capability boundaries and evidence requirements rather than assuming that every listed classification represents an equal share of the eventual work.
Strategic context and interpretation
The procurement history provides a useful baseline for assessing competitive intensity. There are 330 similar recorded awards worth €1.4 billion, compared with 497 awards worth €1.8 billion across the buyer’s full recorded award history. Even allowing for rounded values, comparable categories represent a large proportion of the buyer’s recorded procurement activity.
The visible contractor sample does not show a single supplier controlling the majority of comparable value. The three largest displayed contract-value totals account for roughly 47% of the visible top-10 total, while several other suppliers have between seven and fifteen recorded contracts. That combination points to repeated supplier participation across a market where both contract frequency and average contract value vary significantly.
Geography adds another practical layer. Norway accounts for €1.1 billion and 236 contracts in the visible country data, substantially ahead of the other listed countries. Together with the Norwegian-language requirement and Oslo place of performance, that historical concentration is directly relevant when bidders assess bid resources and delivery readiness.
The renewal data also matters for longer-term market planning. Hermix records 171 similar renewals worth €594 million against 355 renewals worth €1 billion across the buyer profile. This procurement therefore sits within a buyer history that includes a substantial recurring renewal pipeline, even though the available information does not identify a predecessor agreement for this specific notice.
Hermix users analysing this tender can access this competitive intelligence instantly, including detailed contractor profiles, authority spending patterns, and the full renewal pipeline, in minutes rather than hours.

Conclusion

The single-lot structure, negotiated procedure, Norwegian-language requirement and short submission window give bidders several concrete qualification factors to assess before committing bid resources.
