Techstep strengthens its position within public sector with two new contracts in Norway

22 Jul 2024 09:28 CEST

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.
