As a result of winning this contract, DPS Group is now establishing an office in Sweden, which will be used initially to service AstraZeneca exclusively but later to service other clients in Sweden. DPS Group CEO Frank Keogh said: “DPS are delighted to have won this contract and we are confident the combination of a substantial local office and local partners in Sweden, as well as our large pharma centre of excellence offices in Dublin and Cork will ensure a quality and cost-effective delivery model for AstraZeneca. "As with all our clients we will work with AstraZeneca in a true partnership, building a long-term relationship.” The value of the contract has not been disclosed but it is expected that more than 100 DPS engineering personnel potentially will be working on AstraZeneca projects depending on capital expenditure levels.
