The agreed-upon scope includes up to 30,000 calls and up to 25,000 tickets per month, laying the foundation for a long-term, high-performance service partnership. These services support users in government agencies, administrative bodies, and public institutions, helping ensure reliable operation of digital workstations and processes. The procurement process focused on the ability to scale flexibly, reliably handle high volumes of inquiries, and maintain consistently high service quality.
