Subtitle: Company victorious in Europe-wide tender for framework
agreement on maintenance of the procurement office’s 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.
