Under Competition MC03 (LISA/2025/DPS/0008), our consortium ranked 1st out of 4 contractors and will support the development and maintenance of the Shared Biometric Matching Service (sBMS), one of eu-LISA’s core interoperability systems.

Over the next 48 months, we will contribute to the design, development, testing, maintenance, and operational support of sBMS and its related components. The work covers the full application lifecycle, including application evolution, corrective, adaptive, preventive, and perfective maintenance, as well as application support in operations, helping ensure the reliability and continuous improvement of one of the EU’s key shared biometric platforms.

With a maximum ceiling of €53 million, this contract further strengthens Thaleria’s long-standing collaboration with eu-LISA.

As one of our main European clients, eu-LISA has been an important part of Thaleria’s journey for several years. Alongside our participation in the EXTRA-NG Lot 1 Framework Contract for ICT Services, this new award further reinforces our commitment to supporting the Agency’s mission and contributing to the evolution of some of Europe’s most critical digital systems.

eu-LISA is responsible for the operational management of large-scale IT systems that support border management, migration, security, and justice across the European Union. The Shared Biometric Matching Service is a key component of this ecosystem, providing a common biometric capability that enables secure and reliable identification across multiple European information systems. Supporting the development and evolution of these systems means contributing to the digital infrastructure that helps keep Europe connected, secure, and interoperable.

We’re happy to continue this journey alongside partners that we know well and trust, and we look forward to delivering another important project together.

Many thanks to our partners for their trust in us. We’re excited for what lies ahead.
