Consultancy firm makes hat-trick and wins three sub-agreements

Epico-IT, one of Denmark's largest IT consultancies, has won two public tenders with as many as three sub-agreements within the health sector. The won tenders have a total maximum value of no less than DKK 578 million, and according to the IT consultancy, the success is due to the fact that Epico-IT has targeted public tenders by setting up a separate Public department with deep insight into the public sector and a department of people who possess many years of experience in the public sector and in matching the right skills.

At Epico-IT, the Epico Public division has chosen to focus on the public sector and, among other things, the healthcare sector across the country. And that investment has now proven to pay off. Thus, the consultancy was able to celebrate today that it has succeeded in winning two tenders in the health sector with as many as three underlying sub-agreements in a very short time. The tenders include a cross-regional agreement covering all regions in Denmark that have the opportunity to join the agreement.

The specific partial agreements that have been won are as follows:

• Project management and tender assistance to the regions

• Operating aid to the regions

• Advice within GxP, QA and laboratory systems for the Danish Health Data Authority.

The three sub-agreements have a maximum value of DKK 411 million, DKK 157 million and DKK 10 million, respectively, and are, in addition to the increased turnover, a great gain, according to Sara Høyer Tækker, as it can also ensure exciting tasks over the next three to four years for many of Epico-IT's consultants who work with public health:

"It is very important for a company like ours to be included in these large framework agreements with the state, municipalities and regions. We have worked closely with the public sector for over 10 years, so winning these tenders is of course a great financial gain for the company, but it also means that both Epico-IT's consultants, who are already affiliated with the health sector, can continue their good work, and at the same time we can invite new consultants into new tasks."

"It is important for us to be able to offer exciting and new tasks to our skilled consultants, and at the same time take part in prominent projects for the healthcare sector. This will also be a clear strengthening of our already high competencies in the health area."

A dedicated focus on the public sector has borne fruit

According to Susanne Sønderskov, the latest success is largely due to the fact that a separate Public department was established last year to focus on public tenders and the complicated process it takes to become one of the sought-after suppliers to the state:

"Over the years, our work with the public sector has become larger and larger as the digitalisation of society has really taken hold. Therefore, it was a strategic choice by Epico-IT last year to establish our Public department, where our focus has been, and continues to be, solely on the public sector as a customer," says Susanne Sønderskov, Head of Epico-IT Public, and continues:

"In the department, we have gathered experts in tenders, framework agreements and, of course, also in the actual process of delivering to the public sector. That strategy has certainly borne fruit, as evidenced by the many tenders won in a short period of time."
