DIGIT-TM III is the European Commission’s upcoming multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of external IT and digital services between 2026 and 2030. With an estimated value of approximately €4 billion, it will ensure the continuity and evolution of digital services supporting the European Commission and other EU institutions.
 
 This contract replaces DIGIT-TM II (2022–2026) and introduces an updated procurement model designed to reflect today’s technological and regulatory landscape. It expands the scope of services, strengthens security and data protection requirements, and includes dedicated provisions on the responsible use of artificial intelligence in service delivery.
 
Our Consortium has been awarded in all three Lots, allowing us to support DG DIGIT across multiple delivery models and locations. This includes far-site services delivered remotely from anywhere within the European Union, near-site activities in Brussels and Geel supporting core administrative and operational systems, as well as services provided from Luxembourg and several Joint Research Centre locations, including Ispra, Sevilla, Karlsruhe, Petten, and Grange, contributing to scientific platforms and data-intensive environments.
 
DIGIT-TM III covers the entire lifecycle of digital solutions, from project and service management, business analysis, architecture, and UX/UI design, through software development, integration, testing, and deployment, to ongoing operations, maintenance, user support, business intelligence, data engineering, and advanced analytics capabilities.
 
The framework operates as a multi-supplier Time-and-Means contract with reopening of competition, where services are delivered on a daily-rate basis for experts provided and accepted under standard supervision procedures. With the possibility of extensions, it will run for 48 months.
 
DIGIT-TM III plays a key role in supporting the European Commission’s Digital Strategy and the wider Digital Europe Programme, contributing to the modernisation of IT infrastructure, strengthening digital resilience, and enabling secure, efficient and future-ready services across EU institutions.
 
We’re glad to be part of this long-term collaboration alongside partners we know well and trust, and we look forward to contributing to the next phase of the Commission’s digital transformation journey.
 
Many thanks to our partners for their unwavering collaboration and trust in Thaleria. We’re looking forward to the work ahead!

We’re happy to share that Thaleria, as a member of the DigiTime Consortium led by ARHS Developments, together with Accenture and Malt Community, has been awarded the DIGIT-TM III Framework Contract by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Informatics (DG DIGIT).

This Framework Contract represents a massive undertaking of approximately €113 million over the next 4 years. This budget is expected to be split approximately in half, between an expected 120 expert IT consultants working closely with Europol to address their IT needs and an equivalent amount dedicated to project outsourcing. 

As part of this process, a new entity has been created: Thaleria Netherlands has been formally established to reflect once more our commitment towards ensuring a seamless collaboration with Europol, as well as yet another step in Thaleria’s expansion within the European Union.  

We are very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to leveraging our collective strengths in delivering quality services and assisting Europol in its crucial role ensuring the safety and security of the European Union, a mission which we are fully committed to support.

Achieving these globally recognized standards has been a long-standing goal for Thaleria, underscoring our dedication to the highest standards of quality and information security.  

ISO 9001 certification reflects our commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality IT consultancy services that meet and exceed customer expectations. It validates our continuous efforts to enhance customer satisfaction through improved processes and services. 

ISO 27001 certification, on the other hand, demonstrates our robust approach to information security management. In today's digital landscape, protecting sensitive data is paramount. This certification assures our clients that we have effective security controls in place to protect their information, thereby maintaining its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. 

The journey to obtaining these certifications required significant effort from the entire Thaleria team. We implemented multiple policies, conducted thorough risk assessments, and made technical changes to comply with the stringent requirements of ISO 9001 and ISO 27001. This collective effort ensures that we not only meet but exceed industry standards. 
 
These certifications also play a crucial role in our business strategy, particularly in managing bids and securing larger, more complex public tenders. They signal to our partners and stakeholders that Thaleria is a reliable and secure partner, capable of handling complex projects while safeguarding sensitive data. 

 

Above all, we would like to thank our internal team, whose dedication and hard work made this achievement possible. This accomplishment underscores Thaleria's commitment to quality, security, and excellence in IT consultancy services, specifically for the Time & Means, Quoted Time & Means and Fixed-Price delivery modes. We remain dedicated to upholding these standards and continuing to provide exceptional value to our clients. 

Thaleria is thrilled to announce a significant milestone: as of May 8, 2024, we are officially certified in both ISO 9001 Quality Management and ISO 27001 Information Security Management.

After less than 3 years of existence, Thaleria is very proud to announce that the company has reached a symbolic milestone: the 100-staff mark. 

Despite the challenging context presented by the worldwide pandemic, the company has managed to keep growing, going even further than initially expected. And a big part of this growth was focused inside, with the strengthening of the main departments, as well as the creation of the Bid Management department and a new entity in Portugal. 

These new developments are a reflection of some of Thaleria’s main goals and ambitions for the near future – to quickly develop its capacity to participate in and win European public calls for tender, as well as then deliver the needed teams and projects.

After only 3 years of existence, Thaleria has reached the symbolic milestone of 100 employed staff.

The first 100 milestone

This summer marks another important step in Thaleria’s international expansion: the creation of its second entity, Thaleria Portugal. 

This new branch, based in Lisbon, is part of the company’s desire to develop its tendering capacities. While the Bid Management department will be in charge of winning European public tenders, Thaleria Portugal will focus on the delivery part, providing consultancy and nearshoring services.    

In due time, it is also the company’s intention to use this branch to kickstart its business development into the local Portuguese market.
