Developing a tool to be used by 80 million people to help fight a global pandemic under big time pressure is not a huge contract?

It isn't if you do it well. Think of WhatsApp that had about 55 people when it was bought for several billions. Especially if you need it done quickly, many mediocre developers are no substitute for a few good developers.
Maybe SAP and Telekon can be arsed to gather their best if it's actually important. For Toll Collect, the usual suspects failed very hard. Much effort, buggy and very late results.

The Italian app is on GitHub. You can check the size of the project.
The iOS app has 3 main contributors https://github.com/immuni-app/immuni-app-ios/graphs/contribu...
The Android app has one with 50+% of commit https://github.com/immuni-app/immuni-app-android/graphs/cont...
Then there are several backend. All considered it's not a small project but not a large one.
