JV Response to Tender: (Tender Link)
The ENTERPRISE GEORGIA, a government sector organisation in Georgia, has announced a new tender for a digital identity wallet at the Public Service Development Agency. Financier: World Bank (WB)
The GE-EG-G-IS-2024 Request for Proposal (RFP) refers to a World Bank-funded procurement for the Digital Identity Wallet system in Georgia, implemented under Component 2 of the Georgia Relief and Recovery for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises project.
The provided JV proposal presents the JV solution for the Public Service Development Agency (PSDA) of Georgia to design, supply, implement, and support a national Digital Identity Wallet fully aligned with the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet framework.
The JV combines the complementary strengths of two highly experienced organisations:
- iDAKTO (France) https://www.idakto.com/—provider of the France Identité application, one of Europe's most mature digital identity wallets in production with over 3.5 million users, certified at eIDAS Level of Assurance High (LoA High) and actively contributing to European digital identity standards.
- UGT (Georgia) https://ugt.ge/en/—one of Georgia's leading system integrators, with extensive experience delivering mission-critical digital transformation projects for the Georgian government and major financial institutions.
The proposed solution delivers a secure, standards-based, interoperable digital identity wallet while ensuring that PSDA retains full sovereignty over national identity governance, certification, legal compliance, and trust services. The JV assumes responsibility for the technical implementation, while PSDA leads regulatory oversight and certification, ensuring clear governance, transparency, and measurable project acceptance throughout implementation.
The project is designed to minimise technical and regulatory risks by leveraging iDAKTO's proven production experience and by adopting an architecture capable of accommodating future changes to evolving European regulations, certification requirements, and hardware security standards.
Beyond technical delivery, the proposal emphasises long-term adoption and ecosystem growth through the following:
- Incremental feature releases using an agile implementation approach.
- Flexible onboarding and authentication methods supporting multiple trust levels.
- Strong collaboration with public institutions, private-sector relying parties, and international partners.
- Capacity building within PSDA to ensure long-term national ownership rather than dependence on proprietary technology.
The solution supports Georgia's strategic objectives by:
With a proven production platform, certified European expertise, strong local implementation capabilities, and deep involvement in the evolution of the EUDI Wallet ecosystem, the JV offers a unique combination of maturity, innovation, and local presence.
The proposal aims to position Georgia among the first countries to successfully deploy a national EUDI-compliant digital identity wallet at scale, establishing a secure and future-ready foundation for digital public services.
