Digital Euro - Network Service Provider (NSP) Connectivity

Description du marché

The scope of the procurement foresees the establishment of Connectivity Services that support the communication between the distributed components of its end-to-end IT solution. The connectivity comprises two components. These are external and inter-component connectivity. The first category (external connectivity) includes the connectivity services required to establish the technical communication between the IT infrastructure of external actors (mostly Payment Service Providers, PSPs and National Central Banks, NCBs) and the digital euro service platform (DESP), to ensure the smooth provision of digital euro services to end users. As DESP components might be hosted in different sites/data centers belonging to different providers, a second category of connectivity services includes the services needed to enable data exchanges between the different DESP components that are not co-located within the same IT infrastructure and that still do not have a way to communicate directly. This second category is referred to as inter-component connectivity. Lot 1 participation is limited to EU nationals that are controlled by EU Nationals as defined in Chapter IV / Section 3.1 of the Call for Applications (CfA).
