Atlantic International Corp (NASDAQ:ATLN) stock surged in premarket trading after its Circle8 Group subsidiary secured a four-year framework contract with the Dutch government worth approximately $52 million. The agreement was won by Seven Stars B.V., a company operating within the Circle8 Group platform.
The framework was awarded by the Dutch Vehicle Authority (RDW) and covers the provision of specialized ICT professionals. The procurement was competitive, with sixteen participants vying for the contract before Seven Stars B.V. emerged as the winner.
This latest award follows a recently disclosed Circle8 Group public sector contract valued at about $380 million. Combined, the two contract wins exceed $430 million in aggregate value, highlighting a run of sizable public sector bookings for the Circle8 business.
Jeffrey Jagid, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic International, said the agreements demonstrate "the strength of the Circle8 platform and our ability to consistently win significant assignments." Guus Franke, Executive Chairman of Atlantic International, added that repeat success in winning major contracts reflects "the strength of the platform, the quality of our people, and the trust clients place in our organization." Both comments frame the contract wins as validation of Circle8’s positioning.
Atlantic International completed its acquisition of Circle8 Group earlier this year. Following the acquisition, the combined business operates a workforce solutions platform that the company reports as having annualized revenue in excess of $1.1 billion across North America and Europe.
The new framework agreement expands Circle8 Group’s roster of public sector clients in the Dutch market. Atlantic International provides a range of workforce-related services across public and private sectors, including staffing, recruitment, professional services, and outsourced workforce management solutions.
