Trifork subsidiary Nine to maintain and further develop Denmark’s digital admissions platform for higher education

Nine has been awarded a four-year contract with an estimated value of DKK 50 million (approximately EUR 6.7 million) by the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science. Under the contract, Nine will maintain and further develop Den Koordinerede Tilmelding (“Coordinated Admissions”), the digital platform supporting admissions to higher education programs in Denmark.

Nine will assume responsibility for the application, while the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science will continue to manage the technical operations of the platform.

The first major milestone will be the Quota 2 application deadline in March 2027, marking the first application round on the platform with Nine as the responsible application provider.

Each year, the application handles approximately 85,000 applicants and 229,000 applications across 940 programmes offered by 30 higher education institutions.

“KOT Optagelse supports a vital and highly complex process that affects more than 80,000 prospective students every year. We are therefore both proud of the trust placed in us and fully aware of the responsibility that comes with the assignment. Our first priority is to ensure a smooth transition and establish a stable foundation for the next admissions round,” says Jacob Strange, Chief Executive Officer of Nine.

As part of the contract, Nine will also contribute to the continuous optimisation of the solution and carry out minor changes and further development activities in close collaboration with the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Science.
