I'm not at all certain that an open-source code review is possible.

One of the bidders is supposed to be proposing a system by Scytl.

I am pretty sure that Scytl would not allow their software to be
subjected to public review. Perhaps review by one or two code
auditors, yes.

OTOH there's word that You-Know-Who is backing one of the proponents......
