HiQ SIGNS FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT WITH REGION VÄSTRA GÖTALAND

Under an innovative framework agreement with Region Västra Götaland (VGR), HiQ will deliver expertise in the areas of business development and strategy, management and governance, system development and administration, and infrastructure. This is a three-year agreement with the option to extend and is worth a total of SEK 390 million.

“We are very proud and happy about this new agreement with VGR. These are areas in which HiQ has solid experience and competence and the acknowledgement that this framework agreement represents is a testament to that. We are looking forward to our future cooperation,” says Jerker Lindstén, Managing Director of HiQ Gothenburg.

The agreement will ensure that Region Västra Götaland’s need for IT consulting services combining experience and expertise is met.

“The public sector is a very exciting one. Here, as in the private sector, people are learning more about how to use IT to create new services that we can all benefit from in our everyday lives. Filing taxes on a mobile device is a brilliant example of how it’s possible to offer and simplify a service using IT. People are demanding more and Region Västra Götaland has a forward-looking approach that is exciting to witness, influence and be part of,” says Lars Stugemo, President and CEO of HiQ.
