The Malta Digital Innovation Authority (MDIA) has issued a call for tenders for the implementation of Malta's European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet, marking an important milestone in the country's digital transformation journey and in the implementation of the European Digital Identity Framework.
Through this project, Malta is taking the next step towards introducing a secure and trusted digital identity solution that will enable users to access services more easily while giving them greater control over how and with whom they share their information.
Maltese citizens and residents will be able to use the EUDI Wallet to securely identify themselves online and in person, verify their age when required, store important documents such as driving licences, and electronically sign documents. The Wallet will be usable both in Malta and across the European Union.
The MDIA, which has been entrusted with leading the implementation of Malta's European Digital Identity Wallet, will be responsible for developing this solution and the supporting systems required to ensure its secure operation and compatibility with those of other European Union Member States.
The Minister for the Economy, Technology and Strategic Projects, Silvio Schembri, said, "This initiative reflects our commitment to embracing innovative technologies that enhance everyday experiences and strengthen Malta's position as a digitally advanced nation."
The Chief Executive Officer of the Malta Digital Innovation Authority, Kenneth Brincat, said, "This project is a tangible example of how innovative technology can be used to create services that are more secure, trustworthy and focused on the needs of citizens."
The call for tenders is open through the Government's electronic Public Procurement System (ePPS) until Thursday 3rd September and interested parties are encouraged to submit their proposals.
