Key Facts

  • The contract covers an 18-month deployment plus ten years of operations and maintenance.

  • The procurement is aligned to eIDAS 2.0 requirements.

Card Text

Ten-year operations terms attached to issuance contracts are why national ID procurements shape vendor market share for a decade rather than a budget cycle. The eIDAS 2.0 alignment ties the physical document programme to the EU wallet timetable.
