How fast does Tenderen index new tenders? Measured, Q3 2026

• Doffin: 99.9% of 1,109 notices were indexed on their publication day. TED: 100.0% of 83,118.
• BOAMP (France): 100.0% of 9,173 notices were indexed by the day after publication. BOAMP is read once a day, early in the morning.
• On 26 October 2026 the index held 242,748 tender notices and 765,945 contract award notices.

For every notice published in the period we compare the publication date on the notice with the date it was added to Tenderen's index, both in Norwegian time.

Counts on 26 October 2026, all statuses included (open, closed and awarded tenders).

Contract award notices in the index: 765,945. They are the basis for award history, competitor views and the competition benchmark.

• “200,000+ indexed tenders”: the index held 242,748 tender notices when this study was run.
• “750,000+ contract awards”: the index held 765,945 contract award notices.
• “Doffin checked every hour, TED every two hours, BOAMP once a day”: consistent with the same-day and next-day shares above.

• Publication day: the publication date stated on the notice by Doffin, TED or BOAMP.
• Indexed: the moment the notice was first stored in Tenderen's index, converted to Norwegian time (Europe/Oslo).
• Median days: half of the notices were indexed in fewer days, half in more.

1. Tenderen stores every tender notice with its publication date and the time it was added to the index.
2. The study selects every notice published from 1 July to 30 September 2026 and counts the calendar days between its publication date and the day it was added to the index.
3. Day differences are counted in Norwegian time, because the publication dates on the notices are calendar dates without a time of day.
4. All figures come from one read-only SQL query in PostgreSQL (aggregates only, no customer data). The query is kept with the product source code (apps/backend/scripts/research/indexing-speed.sql) and was run on 26 October 2026.
5. The result is published unchanged as JSON (download below).

• Publication dates have no time of day, so indexing speed is measured in calendar days, not hours.
• This study measures when a notice enters the index. It does not measure alert matching or email delivery.
• Most Norwegian notices in the index come from TED: on 26 October 2026 the index held 10,790 notices with buyer country Norway, of which 2,832 came from Doffin.
• One quarter (Q3 2026) only. Outages or slow days in other periods are not covered.

How quickly does a new Doffin or TED notice appear in Tenderen?

In Q3 2026, 99.9% of Doffin notices and 100.0% of TED notices were in the index on their publication day (Norwegian time). Doffin is checked every hour and TED every two hours.

Why do French notices arrive a day later?

BOAMP is read once a day, early in the morning, so notices published during a day are indexed the following day.

Will you publish this again?

Yes, as a new dated study with the same query, so the numbers can be compared. Published figures are never edited afterwards.
