Coopers Wins WTO Tender from Swissgrid

We have some great news to share: Coopers Group AG has won a WTO tender from Swissgrid, the national grid company responsible for the secure operation and monitoring of the Swiss transmission grid.

In summer 2023, Swissgrid put 10 lots out to tender. The company was looking for 8 framework agreement partners for lot-specific ICT services and 2 framework agreement partners for contracting services across all ICT profiles.

Coopers bid on two lots for contracting, each looking for 5 strategic partners for temporary personnel solutions. We are delighted to have been selected by Swissgrid for both bids. Specifically, these are Lot 9 (project management) and Lot 10 (ICT). The expected cumulative volume is CHF 37 million over a period of five years.

The industry magazine Inside IT reported on the large-scale tender in this article.

Congratulations to Sandro Pezzutto and his team Mark Thommen, and Tarik Kesen on this success! It is an outstanding achievement, especially as the lots Coopers got selected for received as many as 30 bids, each.

Sandro comments: "As a framework agreement partner, we have already successfully supported Swissgrid in the recruitment of qualified external ICT specialists since 2021 and have been able to build up a good and trusting relationship during this time. In order to further strengthen this collaboration, it was particularly important to us to successfully participate in this public tender. We are therefore delighted to have been awarded the contract for both lots offered. We are very much looking forward to continuing our successful collaboration as Swissgrid's strategic contracting partner."
