As part of an ongoing initiative to enhance the workflow for producing and publishing news content, NRK is engaging with the market to understand what existing software and hardware solutions could form part of a unified news workflow to help journalists achieve NRK's strategic goals. Given the broad range of needs across news production, it is unlikely that a single solution can address them all. NRK is therefore interested in exploring how multiple systems can be combined to meet the overall needs of the organisation. NRK is interested in exploring how existing products may contribute to a future news workflow, whether by complementing existing systems, replacing specific capabilities or enabling new ways of working. The aim is to understand what capabilities are available in the market, which needs they address, and how they could form part of a broader portfolio of tools and services. No decisions have been made regarding the final composition of the portfolio. Any subsequent procurement processes will be announced through official channels. This is an initial market exploration intended to identify relevant existing products, with low effort required from both NRK and participating vendors. At this stage, vendors are only expected to review this document and complete a brief response form. The response deadline is 12 November 2026.
