Data Protection & GDPR — Public Procurement
Data protection and compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are core requirements for contracting authorities. Public authorities and institutions regularly award contracts for data protection consulting, the implementation of technical and organisational measures, and the provision of GDPR-compliant IT solutions. Demand is rising with the increasing digitalisation of public administration.

Challenges in tender discovery
Data protection services are rarely published as a standalone tender. They are frequently part of comprehensive IT or consulting projects. Designations vary between "data protection consulting", "GDPR compliance", "privacy by design", "information security consulting" and "technical and organisational measures (TOMs)".
In addition, the boundary with IT security is blurred — many tenders treat data protection and information security as a combined service, which makes targeted searching difficult.
