Press release -
NNIT and Danmarks Nationalbank sign substantial contract for administrative IT systems and services
On June 1, NNIT was awarded the contract for delivery of administrative IT systems and services to Danmarks Nationalbank. The contract has an estimated worth of DKK 1 billion and runs for a period of six years with the possibility to extend for another two years.
The standstill period has now come to an end, and the contract has been signed.
Starting today, a period of transition will commence with NNIT preparing for takeover of operations from the current supplier by late November, 2022. NNIT will then assume operations of all administrative IT applications and infrastructure, including maintenance and support.
As part of the contract, NNIT will also be responsible for the ongoing digital transformation and development as laid out in Danmarks Nationalbank’s IT strategy from 2020, delivering on the transformation to a hybrid cloud setup and paying particular attention to providing stable and secure solutions to match the requirements of a central bank.
CEO Pär Fors comments:
”We are absolutely thrilled to have been awarded this very important and substantial contract, which is in a league of its own in the history of NNIT. During the tender process, we were assessed on a number of parameters, in tough competition, not least on quality and sustainability, and we are so very proud to have made it to the finish line after more than a year of preparation and assessments”.
Fors continues: “We are eager and excited to get started on delivering on this contract and to support the development of Denmark’s foremost financial institution. I wish to publicly thank NNIT’s tender team who have performed above and beyond for many months to secure this contract”.
Delivering on quality, security, stability and innovation
NNIT’s background as leading IT supplier to one of the most regulated industries in the world and intense focus on quality is a great fit for the financial sector – and for Danmarks Nationalbank.
With this contract, NNIT is further cementing its reputation for the ability to deliver on quality, security and stability of operations while simultaneously developing and scaling for the future.
Associate Vice President, Sales, Kim Aaen elaborates:
“From the beginning, we were super focused on winning this contract, because it fits so well with who we are. Understandably, the tender criteria were focused more on quality than price, because, for Danmarks Nationalbank, there is no margin for error and no compromise when it comes to security. In NNIT, we are used to working with customers who operate in highly regulated and secured environments; we know how to navigate in this space and how to honor the trust placed in us. We are extremely excited to partner with Danmarks Nationalbank on operations as well as innovative solutions for the future”.
