24 public contracts, 8 entities: what RTP, Técnico and SSAP demand of an IT partner

Between 2017 and 2026, DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting signed 24 public contracts with 8 entities — RTP, Instituto Superior Técnico, the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon, ANQEP, the Social Services of the Public Administration (SSAP), Loures City Council, Portimão City Council and the União das Freguesias de Massamá e Monte Abraão. All are registered on the BASE Portal. It is public proof of a standard we now apply to every company looking for a premium IT partner. If you are looking for the service directly, see managed user support or network infrastructure and structured cabling.

Why a public contract says so much about a supplier

A public body does not choose out of goodwill. It asks for detailed proposals, specifications met to the letter, contractual deadlines and documentation of everything. When the same entity comes back year after year, as SSAP and the União das Freguesias de Massamá e Monte Abraão do, it is because the work was delivered and it works.

The Social Services of the Public Administration are the best example of continuity in networking:
