The Ministry of the
Interior and Kingdom Relations awards the Kingdom-wide contract for mobile
communication services (IWR2017) to Vodafone. With the contract for mobile
services, Vodafone helps central government employees in the Netherlands and
abroad to work more flexible, thanks to mobile telephony and data. It concerns
180,000 devices in the coming 4 to 7 years. Vodafone will also provide flexible
workspace to the employees of the ministry.
John van Vianen,
Executive Director Business Market at VodafoneZiggo: "We are very proud
that we have managed to secure an important customer like the central
government yet again. For over 15 years, Vodafone has been providing mobile
communication services now to the government. This contract offers the central
government the opportunity for flexible working thanks to a fast and stable
mobile connection with a future-proof network."
For the new company
VodafoneZiggo there is more good news, because Ziggo has also won a contract;
the Kingdom-wide contract for service numbers for the central government. Two
important telephone numbers in this contract are the Tax Information Line
(0800-0543) and the Information Central Government Desk (1400). Ziggo and
Vodafone together can provide an even wider range of products and services, as
proved by this double success.
