Titel: Digital euro - Risk and Fraud Management
Beschreibung: The digital euro high-level product description foresees the establishment of a general fraud detection and prevention mechanism for online digital euro transactions as an essential component of the digital euro service platform (DESP). The general fraud detection and prevention mechanism is relevant in the context of digital euro transaction management. It must be established at the level of the digital euro scheme to support payment service providers (PSPs) in identifying fraudulent transactions by enriching the PSPs’ individual fraud risk view with insights on patterns and anomalies from a central infrastructure level perspective. However, PSPs of the digital euro environment will operate their own systems and apply appropriate fraud prevention, risk management and detection measurement rules. This procurement procedure aims at signing contracts with suitable providers for activities on the design and implementation of a central risk and fraud management component, providing a general fraud detection and prevention mechanism for online digital euro transactions. The component will cater for (non-exhaustive list of activities): the assessment the exposure to fraud risk of online digital euro transactions in real-time at the exclusive use of PSPs before the transaction is introduced into the digital euro settlement infrastructure; For this purpose, the component shall: receive and process a request from a PSP for real-time risk scoring of a transaction; send validation error message for fraud risk scoring requests in case the validation of data failed or time out occurred; upon a successful processing of a risk scoring request, respond with a positive notification; transmit the calculated risk score to the PSP requesting it; use the transaction details provided by the PSP and the rules set-up, to calculate a risk scoring of the transaction in real-time before the settlement. the support of payment service providers in detecting fraudulent transactions in online digital euro payment transactions that have been settled. For this purpose, the component shall: perform fraud analysis ex-post the transaction settlement based on a holistic picture of transactions across PSPs and produce fraud statistics. be capable of receiving and processing fraud statistics from PSPs. The statistics obtained shall be used in ex-post fraud analysis and to regularly produce situation awareness and intelligence reports for PSPs. support definition and management of rules to score the transactions. store fraud statistics (related to resulting risk scores and ex-post fraud analysis, for example) to support further fraud analysis as well as creation of reports (for the regulators and other stakeholders, for example). It should be emphasised that the general fraud detection and prevention mechanism offered by this component does not serve as a replacement for any deficiencies in PSPs’ fraud and risk management processes. It can only support and augment the activities at PSP level, by providing additional information that may otherwise not be available to PSPs to support their fraud prevention activities. This call for applications seeks the party responsible for the development, including maintenance, as well as the operation of the risk and fraud component for the digital euro based on the relevant contractual arrangements and on a decision of the ECB Governing Council.

Optionen:
Beschreibung der Optionen: The initial contract duration is 4 years with the possibility of one or more optional extensions to a total maximum contract duration of 15 years. This duration is justified by the following high-level summary: Due to the complexity and volume of the project, it will be not possible to deliver all services within 4 years. Specifically for the digital euro, where the contracts shall cover both development and operations, with development timeframes being in the range of typically around 2 years, followed by a staggered roll-out of the different use cases, the standard 4 years contract duration is considered inadequate to ensure that any provider would even be in a position to carry out the development and then ensure a stable operation of any of procured components. Fifteen year duration is expected to allow a development and rollout of the complete digital euro, including all use cases and allow the respective provider to be available for support and maintenance in the time period where the digital euro would increase the number of users. Following current estimations and market research, after the 4 year standard contract, the ramp up phase just began and only a fraction of the potential end user will be onboarded on the Digital Euro Service Platform, but with the amount of new end user per day peaking. Underlining the strong need for a stable support and maintenance during this time. Also, this approach allows the project team to focus on the digital euro functionality while avoiding any change of suppliers in this critical phase. This justification will be verified when the decision on the extension is taken. If the good reasons that had justified the reservation in the contract notice and in the procurement documents no longer exists - no contract extension will be requested.

Zusätzliche Informationen: In deviation from Article 30 (1) of the Decision ECB/2016/2 laying down the rules on procurement (as amended), (available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:02016D0002-20200501), participation in this procurement procedure is subject to the following place of establishment and control requirement: Only the following may be eligible as candidates, tenderers, members of a temporary grouping or sub-contractors: - EU Nationals that - are controlled by EU Nationals. Should candidates, tenderers or members of a temporary grouping that do not fulfil these requirements apply/submit an application, the application/tender will be excluded. Should sub-contractors be proposed that do not fulfil these requirements (i.e. being an EU National being controlled by an EU National), the ECB will either decide to exclude the application/tender or request that the sub-contractor be replaced with a sub-contractor that does fulfil the requirements. An ‘EU National’ means any legal entity with registered offices in an EU member state or any natural person that has the nationality of an EU member state. ‘Control’ means the ability to exercise a decisive influence on an undertaking, directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediate undertakings. Control can take any of the following forms: (i) the direct or indirect holding of more than 50% of the nominal value of the issued share capital in the legal entity concerned, or of a majority of the voting rights of the shareholders or associates of that entity, (ii) the direct or indirect holding, in fact or in law, of decision-making powers in the legal entity concerned. The contractors must moreover ensure that any cooperation with Nationals of third countries (non-EU countries) or that are controlled by such a country and/or by a national of such a country does not affect the security interests and avoids potential negative effects over security of supply of inputs that are critical to the procurement and the procurement subject. As proof, Candidates shall submit a declaration(s) in the Annex CfA4 for themselves and potential members of temporary groups or subcontractors. The ECB reserves the right to request further information or proof in this context to assess, if the above requirements are fulfilled.
