Dutch gov't will only allow European company to operate DigiD platform

The next company to manage part of DigiD must be European, State Secretary Eric van der Burg of Interior wrote in a letter to parliament. The tender for the contract after August 2028 will be conducted via the Defense and Security Procurement Act (ADV).“The reason for this is that the ADV offers more possibilities than a regular European tender to limit risks to national security,” said the VVD Cabinet member. The ADV stipulates that only European companies are eligible to guarantee security.
