In November 2025, the contracting authority carried out a round of hearings in the market to uncover which tenderers had the opportunity to deliver to the various areas in the county, after which bakehuset Nord-Norway was the only supplier who stated to be able to deliver to all areas. The competition was decided divided into four limited geographical areas; Tromsø and the surrounding area, Nord-Troms, Midt-Troms and Harstad and the surrounding area, in order to facilitate participation from smaller local tenderers. More stringent requirements were made to use e-commerce and assortment for the areas North Troms, Mid-Troms and Harstad and the surrounding area, compared to the tromsø and surrounding parts of the contract - where it was known that the market was more mature for stricter requirements. The competition was held as an open tender contest in March 2026. Bakehuset Nord-Norway was then the only person who submitted tender offers on the sub-contracts Nord-Troms, Midt-Troms and Harstad and the surrounding area, but was rejected as a result of errors in the tender documents. Sub-contract Tromsø and the surrounding area was awarded to another tenderer.

In subsequent dialogue, Bakehuset Nord-Norway AS has confirmed that they fulfil all requirements in the requirement specifications and that they can deliver on all the remaining sub-contracts. Based on the hearing replies and the result of previously completed competition, the contracting authority assumes that Bakehuset Nord-Norway AS is the only supplier in the market. The contracting authority has therefore decided to combine Nord-Troms, Midt-Troms and Harstad and the surrounding area under a joint sub-contract and intends to enter into a contract with Bakehuset Nord-Norway AS.
