Upgraded People signs exclusive framework agreement with the Swedish Tax Agency for consultancy in IT and AI expertise

The consultancy agency Upgraded People has won one of the largest procurements in Sweden within public administration concerning consultancy agency of IT and AI competence. The agreement, which goes under the name “IT-konsultmäklare”, has a ceiling volume of 5.55 billion SEK and runs over two years with the possibility of extension 1 + 1 year. Upgraded People is the only supplier to be awarded a framework agreement.

The agreement covers not only the Swedish Tax Agency, but also the Swedish Enforcement Authority, the Swedish Election Authority, the Swedish Payment Authority and the Swedish Tax Authority and the Swedish Research Tax Board. The Swedish Tax Agency acts as the contracting authority for all parties, and both the Swedish Tax Agency and the Swedish Enforcement Authority will sign separate but identical framework agreements.

A strategic investment in the digital administration of the future

The background to the procurement is the need for a flexible and efficient supply of skills that supports the Swedish Tax Agency and other authorities in their prioritized development areas. Digitalization, automation and a high degree of information security are central to ensuring that the meeting with citizens is simple, safe and legally secure.

A particular focus area is artificial intelligence (AI), which the authorities see as a key to increased efficiency, innovation and legal certainty in Swedish public administration.

Areas of expertise covered by the agreement:

• AI
• Analysis & Design
• Architecture
• Database Development
• Management & Governance
• System Development
• Security
• Technology
• Testing

This is an important milestone for Upgraded People. Being trusted as the sole supplier in a procurement of this magnitude confirms the strength of our working method and our ability to deliver the right expertise at the right time. We look forward to contributing to the digital development of the Swedish Tax Agency and other authorities, especially in AI and automation, which will play a crucial role in the future of public services.
