Subtitle: Company victorious in Europe-wide tender for framework agreement on
maintenance of the procurement offices e-tender platform
Dortmund (euro adhoc) - adesso AG has won out after a Europe-wide tendering
process for a framework agreement. The tender concerned provision of support to
and further development of the procurement office's central e-tender platform.
Securing the contract will pave the way for acceptance of consulting and
software development services worth up to two million euros annually over a
duration of two to four years. During this period, adesso industry specialists
will provide support to the Federal Ministry of the Interior's procurement
officers as the government updates an existing platform for electronic tendering
and awarding of service contracts.
In operation for the past ten years, the central e-tender platform has become a
vital tool for the procurement office. Around 350 officeholders and 20,000
companies use the system. Since its introduction, the platform has turned over
around 700 million euros. Right now, there are around 1,000 tendering processes
underway. The system needs updating in light of the constant increase in the
number of electronically supported tenders and contracting processes.
Winning this public administration business contract will increase adesso's
visibility in the sector. It also represents an important milestone for adesso's
growth strategy. The decision will mean further expansion of adesso's presence
in the sector, which will become one of adesso's core industries.
