Cyprus EU entity
Devtide Ltd. is a registered Cyprus limited company, eligible to contract directly under EU procurement frameworks.
For Public Sector
Software architects who pass procurement scrutiny.
We work with ministries, agencies, and regulated industries to modernise legacy systems, meet accessibility and data protection requirements, and produce documentation that holds up under EU procurement review.
Compliance posture
What we bring before the first call
We meet the baseline expectations procurement officers verify before any technical conversation.
GDPR by design
Data protection considered at the architecture level, lawful basis and retention defined per data flow, processor agreements honoured.
WCAG 2.1 AA
We design and audit interfaces against WCAG 2.1 AA. Accessibility is a delivery requirement, not a phase-end review.
HTTPS and EU hosting
Encrypted in transit, hosted in the European Union, server logs retained for the minimum operational period.
What we deliver
Public-sector services
A focused set of engagements where we have measurable impact for ministries, agencies, and regulated industries.
Legacy system modernisation
Decade-old monoliths, unsupported framework versions, single-vendor lock-in. We plan and deliver incremental migration strategies that keep the service running through the transition.
Accessibility and WCAG 2.1 AA conformance
Audit existing portals against the EU Web Accessibility Directive, design keyboard- and screen-reader-first interfaces, and produce conformance documentation procurement teams can attach to filings.
Architecture review for tender bids
Independent technical assessment of vendor proposals, risk evaluation, and a clear recommendation memo for evaluation committees.
Open standards and vendor lock-in escape
Migration paths from proprietary platforms to open standards, written contracts that protect procurement teams from future lock-in, and architectures that survive vendor changes.
Standards we work to
How we approach the work
Public-sector software has obligations beyond what the private sector demands. These practices travel with every engagement.
Data protection by design
Data classification, lawful basis, and retention rules are decided in the architecture phase, not retrofitted before launch.
Accessibility-first interfaces
Keyboard navigation, focus management, screen-reader semantics, and colour contrast verified before each release.
Audit-trail-first design
Every state-changing action is logged with actor, timestamp, and reason. Public-sector audits require this, and good engineering benefits from it.
EU data residency
Hosting and processors are kept inside the European Union by default, with documented transfer safeguards if a flow needs to leave.
Open standards by default
Open file formats, open protocols, open APIs. Procurement teams should not have to repeat the same migration five years later.
Knowledge transfer baked in
Documentation, pair programming, and team coaching are part of the engagement, so capability stays in your organisation when we leave.
How we engage
A procurement-friendly path from first contact to delivery
Each step has a clear deliverable and a clear decision point. No commitment until both sides know the engagement makes sense.
Capability review
A short call and an honest read on whether we are the right partner. No deliverable obligations on either side.
Paid discovery workshop
One or two days, on-site or remote, scoping the engagement. The outcome is a written discovery report with risks, options, and indicative cost. The report is yours regardless of what happens next.
Tender or proposal support
Where relevant, we help shape the technical specification, evaluation criteria, and conformance documentation, either as your direct partner or alongside your prime vendor.
Delivery with knowledge transfer
Architecture, implementation, or coaching, depending on what the engagement calls for. Pair programming and documentation are part of the work, not a phase at the end.
Reference engagement
We have built software for state parliament
Devtide has delivered software for a Landtag (state parliament) in Germany. Working with a parliamentary body taught us how seriously public-sector procurement, accessibility, and audit obligations are taken in practice, and how good documentation reduces risk for everyone involved.
Detailed references are available on request to qualified procurement teams. We can also provide a letter of reference from the engagement lead.

Procurement FAQ
What procurement teams usually ask
The questions evaluation committees raise before the technical conversation begins.
01 Can you contract through standard EU procurement frameworks?
Yes. Devtide Ltd. is a Cyprus EU entity that can contract directly with public administrations across the EU. We can also act as a technical subcontractor or partner alongside your prime vendor where that is the preferred contracting structure.
02 Will you sign a Data Processing Agreement?
Yes. We sign DPAs as a matter of course before any access to personal data. Standard Contractual Clauses are honoured for any flow that requires them.
03 Can you provide reference letters?
Yes, from prior engagements, including public-sector references, available on request to qualified procurement teams.
04 Do you work on-site for security-restricted projects?
Yes. For projects requiring on-premises work, restricted networks, or supervised access, we travel to client sites within the EU and work under your security policies.
05 What happens to our data after the engagement ends?
All client data, source code, documentation, and access credentials are returned or securely destroyed at engagement close, per the terms of the contracted DPA. We do not retain copies for portfolio or marketing purposes.
