The ÅF Group is one of the big winners in the major framework agreement for procurement that the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has recently concluded. FMV has selected the ÅF Group as a principal partner in the areas of infology, management systems, telecommunication systems, data & software security and the administration of technical systems. The framework agreement with the ÅF Group amounts to a potential bottom-line value of around SEK 30 million.

 

The framework agreement that FMV has signed with the ÅF Group is for approximately 15% of the total volume of 294,000 hours for 2003. This makes the ÅF Group one of FMV's major partners among the 23 companies that were successful in their quotas of the negotiation process.

 

"FMV's choice of the ÅF Group as a partner confirms the appeal that our offer - the ÅF brand, our tradition of long-term relationships with our clients and our long track record of delivering what we promise when we promise - holds for today's market," says ÅF Group CEO, Jonas Wiström.

 

He continues, "The agreement with FMV has made sure that the ÅF Group's strategy of working in the defence market, as heralded by our acquisition of Communicator AB and Teleplan AB last summer, has got off to a good start - as has our new market area established to serve government agencies, authorities & public service providers."
