Authentication and identity management: tender radar

Suppliers of authentication solutions can currently find direct opportunities in IAM and SSO implementation, identity and access integration, and multi-factor authentication. This selection follows the actual scope of each tender; broad IT contracts that only mention authentication in passing are excluded.

A Dutch university of applied sciences is procuring a new IAM platform with migration and integrations. Portugal has separate opportunities for SSO, MFA and autentika.gov integration and for further development of an existing IAM environment. Spain is buying both an open-source SSO implementation and a larger central authentication platform. France, Slovenia and Bulgaria also have IAM implementation or development tenders.

These are not interchangeable software purchases. Some require experience with a specific vendor, while others combine licences, migration, support and development. Check the official documents for lots, references, language rules and precise submission times before deciding to bid. The University of Huelva SSO tender has an especially short deadline, 6 October.

Current purchasing needs

NLD, FRA, ESP, SVN

New IAM or SSO implementation

Buyers need central identity management, application integration, access-rights lifecycle management and rollout support. The Dutch university tender includes migration and ongoing management; the University of Huelva wants open-source SSO with password management and two-factor authentication.

PRT, ESP

MFA and public-service authentication integration

Portugal's Infarmed seeks IAM, SSO, role-based access and MFA development with autentika.gov integration. Spain's RTVE combines a central authentication platform, software tokens and an SMS-code service; inspect the lots and vendor requirements separately.

PRT, BGR, DEU

Existing IAM development and migration

Portugal is developing its Microsoft Identity Manager environment and preparing a move to Entra ID. Bulgaria is procuring OpenText Identity and Access Manager architecture and implementation. Germany is expanding an Imprivata environment with licences and workflow implementation, where vendor-specific partner rules may narrow eligibility.

Additional requirements

Long-term SaaS service and licensing model.
Migration from an existing IAM environment.

Authentication, access rights and integration design.
A review of the buyer's technical conditions and tender lots.
