The National Library of Norway (NB) sends and collects material in order to build up its collection. NB sends loans and other material to libraries, companies, and other recipients in all of the country's municipalities, Svalbard, and world wide. The types of material sent are, for example, books, book packages, films, placards, microfilm, hard disks and technical equipment.

Framework agreement for dispatch of packages: approx. 40,000 - 60,000 packages a year.

This is an estimate. NB is not obliged to procure this volume.

There can be an option to increase the volume in the contract period.

A contract will be signed for two years, with an option for an extension for up to two years, one year at a time, i.e., a maximum duration of 4 years (2+1+1).
