Romania Digital Transformation: Launch of Major Procurement for Government Private Cloud Migration
The Authority for Digitalization of Romania (ADR) has taken a significant step in advancing the country’s digital transformation by initiating a public procurement process to migrate at least 30 key government IT systems and applications to the Government Private Cloud. This initiative aims to enhance the delivery of digital services to citizens while ensuring improved security and scalability for public sector IT infrastructure.
The ambitious project, which will be completed by June 2026, is backed by $180 million in funding from Romania’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). The deadline for submitting offers is March 3rd, 2025, at 3:00 PM Romania Time.
Largest State-Funded IT Investment in Romania
The Government Private Cloud stands as the largest IT investment funded by the Romanian government, with total financing exceeding $530 million from the NRRP. This substantial investment reflects Romania’s growing commitment to modernizing public administration and providing more efficient digital services to its citizens.
Procurement Categories
The procurement process is structured into two primary service categories:
1. Application Migration Services – Focused on migrating critical government applications to the new cloud infrastructure. This includes ensuring that systems are seamlessly transitioned with minimal disruption to public services.
2. Cybersecurity Assessment Services – Aimed at safeguarding the Government Private Cloud by conducting comprehensive security assessments and identifying potential vulnerabilities.
Transforming the Romanian Public Sector’s IT Capabilities
The migration to the Government Private Cloud is expected to bring significant benefits, including:
• Increased Efficiency: Centralized infrastructure will reduce costs and improve system performance.
• Enhanced Security: Dedicated cybersecurity services will help protect sensitive government data from evolving cyber threats.
• Improved Citizen Services: Digital services will become more reliable, accessible, and scalable.
With this project, Romania is poised to join the ranks of European leaders in public sector digitalization. The ADR’s strategic focus on cloud technology is not only a response to immediate needs but also a long-term investment in the country’s digital resilience and innovation capacity.
