The Act contains 18 sections (paragrafer). Section 1 sets the purpose - to promote efficient use of public resources and the integrity of public procurement. Section 2 establishes the scope, applying to oppdragsgivere (contracting authorities) for contracts at or above 100,000 NOK excluding VAT. Section 4 establishes the basic principles of competition, equal treatment, predictability, verifiability and proportionality, which contracting authorities must observe. Section 5 sets requirements for environmental, social and labour considerations and human rights. Sections 8 to 15 set out the rettsmidler (legal remedies) regime, including the standstill period, judicial review by the ordinary courts and the role of the Klagenemnda for offentlige anskaffelser (KOFA - Public Procurement Complaints Board). Section 12 governs administrative gebyr (penalty fee) for unlawful direct awards. The Act is implemented through detailed forskrifter (regulations) including the Anskaffelsesforskriften, the Forsyningsforskriften (utilities) and the Konsesjonskontraktforskriften (concessions) which transpose EU Directives 2014/23/EU, 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU into Norwegian law via the EEA Agreement.",
