The cafeteria section in the Norwegian Parliament is responsible for running three personnel restaurants, of which one is run by an external canteen operator. The eating places serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and approx. 1,250 persons eat there every day. In addition food and drink is produced and served in all types of meetings, with 2-150 participants, spread over 75 different locations. The section is also responsible for serving at parties and receptions — serving everything from a sweet ‘mouthful’ to standing eating with presentation of food from all over the country.

Vending machine services and other measures that promote personnel are also the responsibility of the section.

Our food concept is founded on Norwegian traditions and raw products and seasonal and balanced menus. We would like to develop this concept further to inform those who eat of what is in the food and where the raw products come from.

The aim is to increase the share of organic products and commit to the use of fair and sustainable products. Also to undertake environmental conscious procurements by choosing environmentally favourable products and systems.

Local food and exciting niche products ought to be included in the concept.

In order to be able to provide a good service offer within all of the above mentioned categories, suppliers are needed who can provide a broad selection of quality products within the requested product groups and at the same time inspire employees to use products that contribute to the development of the food concept.

All products are to be delivered to the Norwegian Parliament's goods reception in accordance with the current routines.

Qualified tenderers shall submit product samples.
