The agreement has a two-year term plus the option to extend it twice, each time for an additional year. During this period, Bechtle will be providing a wide-range of services—from strategic consulting and programme and project management to providing assistance for related RFPs, along with architecture services for the configuration and expansion of secure, future-proof IT infrastructures. In addition to the state’s administration, local authorities in Lower Saxony will also be able benefit from the framework agreement.
