Concerns Raised Over the Awarding Process of Electronic IDs to JCC

September 25, 2025

The Auditor General of the Republic, Mr. Andreas Papaconstantinou, raised concerns about the awarding process for electronic IDs to JCC. He indicated that JCC gained an advantage in preparing 100,000 electronic IDs and that the tender announcement was delayed. It took over a year for bids to be submitted, limiting competition. The Auditor General commented that the awarding process could have been initiated earlier, allowing more companies to participate. He emphasized the need for more options before making a final decision.
