ESPOO, Finland, Dec. 4, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Swedish National Social Insurance Board, RFV, has signed an agreement with TietoEnator (Other OTC:TTNTF) (Stockholm:TIEN) who is thereby appointed as so-called priority supplier. The agreement is estimated to be worth approximately 30 MSEK for TietoEnator.
The state authorities in Sundsvall have a mutual IT consultant general agreement with approximately 35 suppliers. RFV has now made a selection from these suppliers and signed an agreement with, among others, TietoEnator who, from December 1, 2002, is named "priority supplier."
Being priority supplier to RFV means being "house consultant" with priority on call.
The prerequisites for being selected as priority supplier are the ability to offer guaranteed delivery security, broad competence and the ability to deliver within the areas of development, administration and operation together with competitive prices. The priority supplier shall have a stable and sound financial position and be able to provide resources regionally located in Sundsvall, near RFV Data.
"In our focus on the state market in Sweden, TietoEnator has made a breakthrough in Sundsvall and this agreement will constitute a sound platform for the further development of the company's operations in the region. We are pleased to be able to cooperate with RFV which is one of the state departments that has come the furthest in the development of the 24/7 authority," said Lars Gahnstrom, responsible for TietoEnator's business area Public & Healthcare.
