What Lantik does

Lantik, S.A., M.P. is a public-sector technology entity wholly owned by the Provincial Council of Biscay (Bizkaiko Foru Aldundia) in Spain, established in 1982 and headquartered in Bilbao. It operates as a "Medio Propio Personificado" (incorporated public entity) under Spanish public procurement law (Law 9/2017), granting it preferential status to receive direct IT service assignments from the provincial government, its dependent agencies (Foru Erakundeak), and the municipalities of Bizkaia. The organization delivers digital services spanning IT infrastructure management, cybersecurity, electronic administration platforms, open data initiatives, and digital transformation consulting across the territory of Bizkaia.

Its core product portfolio centers on the Electronic Bidding Platform (Licitación Electrónica) for public procurement, the Bizkaia Gardena (Transparent Bizkaia) transparency portal, the Datathon Open Data Bizkaia AI competition, and Biqain — a quantum technology adoption initiative managed by Lantik's Innovation Unit. The technology stack is built on Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure with Microsoft Power BI for data visualization, Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics for user behavior tracking, and supports WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance alongside the Spanish National Security Scheme (ENS per Royal Decree 311/2022) and EU GDPR.

The business model is institutional rather than commercial: Lantik operates as a Sociedad Anónima de Medio Propio with no external shareholders, receiving revenue through public contracts and direct assignments regulated by Law 9/2017. It does not operate commercial pricing but rather delivers mandated IT services as the provincial government's in-house digital transformation arm. The entity employs 101–250 staff and has no commercial mandate beyond its public service function.
