    TENDER DESCRIPTION

    This tender seeks a comprehensive IT solution for the complete functional replacement of the existing ABBA system, which manages employment applications and remuneration for freelance staff. The scope encompasses the full lifecycle from conception, custom development, and provision to introduction, productive commissioning, and ongoing maintenance, including the establishment of a self-service portal for freelancers and integration with SAP HCM and other peripheral systems. Key technical requirements mandate a "Cloud First" container-based solution within a Private Cloud environment, featuring a browser-based, responsive web interface utilizing modern frontend technologies, robust authentication via Microsoft Entra ID and NDR IAM, and adherence to strict accessibility and usability standards. The project timeline indicates an earliest execution start of January 11, 2027, with a GoLive target of October 2, 2028, and the Hypercare-Phase concluding by February 28, 2029, upon the shutdown of the legacy system. Financially, bidders must hold valid business liability insurance with a minimum coverage of €2 million per claim.
