Techstep strengthens its position within public sector with two new contracts in Norway
Techstep has secured two new public sector agreements for delivering mobile devices, accessories and related mobile technology services and solutions to all municipalities in the Vestfold region, managed by the public sector purchasing agency VOIS, as well as the Nordre Follo Municipality.
Techstep's dedication to lifecycle management and circular economy influenced the selection process, underscoring the company’s commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices. This is a direct result of a new legislation introduced in Norway from 1 January 2024, requiring climate and environmental considerations to be weighted at least 30% in public tenders.
By leveraging its expertise in mobile technology solutions, Techstep will be responsible for delivering, repairing and recycling mobile devices, as well as giving the municipalities’ employees the tools for self-service through a modern webshop to order and repair the devices and replace or buy them out in compliance with Norwegian tax requirements.
"This is a direct result of Techstep’s revised commercial strategy, becoming the preferred mobile technology partner for all type of municipal workers, from office workers to those working in the field and frontline. Our approach is designed to empower them to derive greater value, productivity and efficiency from their mobile eco-systems. We are proud to be acknowledged for our strong sustainability focus and our commitment to ESG," says Morten Meier, CEO of Techstep.
The two agreements have an estimated total value of NOK 55 million over four years. The initial contract period for the Nordre Follo agreement is two years, with options for an additional two years’ extension with annual renewal.
