Framfab concludes general agreement with the Knowledge Foundation In competition with 31 other bidders during a public procurement process, Framfab has won a contract to serve as the Knowledge Foundation's new Internet consultant. The two-year general agreement, which contains an option to renew for an equal period of time, covers the development and enhancement of the Knowledge Foundation's web environment. Representatives of the Knowledge Foundation and a number of external experts rated the proposals of the various bidders based on a series of criteria. Framfab won the contract after accumulating the most points in the evaluation. - According to Eva Fohlstedt, Web Development Manager at the Knowledge Foundation, "We were looking for a long-term consultant that could advise us in communications matters, while helping with support and technological development. Framfab's strong point was its ability to integrate various kinds of expertise while offering creative suggestions that demonstrated a solid understanding of our objectives and the needs of our target groups." Framfab has already started on its task of developing and enhancing the Knowledge Foundation's web environment. The aim of the Knowledge Foundation is to support Sweden's growth and competitive power through the development of knowledge and expertise - in other words to upgrading Sweden. The foundation has financed and supported some 1,400 projects in Sweden since 1994. One of the foundation's goals in the next few years will be to disseminate the know-how, experience and findings that it has gathered from these projects. In Framfab's view, the Knowledge Foundation is well positioned to use the Internet as one of its key tools in that effort. - CEO Christian Haeger of Framfab Sverige AB says, "The Knowledge Foundation is a very exciting company that has recognized the potential of the Internet, as well as our integrated areas of expertise: business development, design & communications, technology and support. The trust that the foundation has displayed in us makes us proud and eager to get down to work."
