Inducement
In recent years, RDW has been preparing for the arrival of mobile documents, in particular the mobile driving license (mDL). This is a fully digital version of the driver's license, which a citizen can store on his phone and which can be shared with various parties via a standardized interface.
This move towards mobile documents (or more generically electronic attestations) is not only happening in the mobility sector. All kinds of documents and data of users are eligible to be stored on a smartphone as an electronic attestation, in order to be shared. This data then comes together in a virtual wallet, in the form of an app on the smartphone. In several countries, such ID wallets are already being used (by the government) and various tech companies are also working on these solutions. This includes Apple and Google, as well as specialized solution providers.
To ensure that these ID wallets comply with European values and to further stimulate the free movement of services within the European Union, the European Commission has proposed an 'EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet)'. A revision of the eIDAS Directive includes the obligation for member states to make such an ID wallet available to their citizens. To support the development of this wallet in the member states, the European Commission has made a budget available for Large Scale Pilots (hereinafter: LSPs).
In a consortium of several countries, an interoperable wallet that meets the agreed requirements and standards is being worked on for one or more concrete use cases. The explicit aim is to learn from the pilot projects and to incorporate the experiences into the – iterative – development of the requirements and standards that are set for the EUDI Wallet.
RDW participates in one of these LSPs, together with other Dutch parties and participants from 19 other countries. From 2023 to 2025, they will jointly conduct tests with different user scenarios of the EUDI wallet. This consortium, called 'Potential', is working on the following use cases:
UC 1: Identifying and authenticating on digital government services
UC 2: Opening a bank account
UC 3: Register for SIM Card and Subscriber Services with Telecom Providers
UC 4: Mobile driver's license, prove to the police (in person) and at car rental (online)
UC 5: Placing a Qualified Digital Signature
UC 6: eHealth. Access to medical data and digital prescriptions
For more information, see https://www.digital-identity-wallet.eu/
The EUDI Wallet is not a European facility; It is up to each member state to provide a wallet implementation for this pilot (and to eventually also make one or more wallet implementations available in a production setting). It has been agreed with the Dutch participants of the 'Potential' consortium that the RDW will provide and manage the wallet implementation for the pilot during the duration of the pilot project. Fortunately, it does not have to be built from scratch: For the sake of efficiency and to promote interoperability, member states can use a 'reference implementation' that is made available as Open Source by the European Commission for their implementation.

Purpose of the call for tenders
RDW is looking for a supplier who can develop a pilot version of the EUDI wallet during the term of the LSP project for use by a number of Dutch parties in 'Potential' based on this reference implementation. The purpose of this tender is to enter into an agreement with a single supplier, which can take care of the development work on this version of the EUDI Wallet on behalf of the RDW.
The scope of this assignment includes the following services:
An intake of the code of the reference implementation;
Iteratively (further) developing an implementation of the EUDI Wallet (application), for use by the Dutch participants of the Potential consortium;
Performing unit and integration tests on the delivered functionality;
Contributing to interoperability testing with partners from other European countries;
Provide feedback and advice on the reference implementation received, which can be used by RDW and the other Dutch participants of the LSP towards the European Commission for the iterative further development of the general reference implementation;
Advising the RDW on developments and possible improvements in the field of application development, insofar as relevant for the implementation of the LSP project in consortium 'Potential'.
Managing this application, including performing maintenance, resolving disruptions, and implementing changes. This includes, but is not limited to:
Making new (versions of) applications available via the various platforms and stores for test, pre-production and possibly (closed beta) production.
Collecting crash reports and other forms of feedback from the use of the app
The following services fall outside the scope of this assignment:
Development, further development and management of the RDW's other apps
Development, further development and management of possible other implementations of the EUDI Wallet
Development, further development and management of implementations of the EUDI Wallet for broad use in Production environments, outside or after the Large Scale Pilot
