Get access
Suppliers need to contact the customer through Visma TendSign for access. A one-time link to set username and password will then be received by email. Please ignore the advice to log into sigma2.no/user. Navigate directly to this page and click on items to download. You will then be asked for your username and password. Only one account per supplier will be provided.
NorESM download
Because of the size of the archive (83 GB), downloads of NorESM using popular browsers often fail. If you experience download problems with NorESM, please contact us via Visma TendSign for a password free download link.
