DFØ was established 1st January 2004 (then the Centre for Government Financial Management, SSØ), as an administrative organ under the Ministry of Finance. The entity's task is to strengthen the government financial management and improve the use of resources in the area.

DFØ's main assignments are to administer and communicate knowledge on compliance with the financial rules in the government, to administer the group systems for government accounts and the government's group account scheme as well as provide financial services, including payroll and accounting services, to approx. 75 percent of the government entities. DFØ also has the assignment of carrying out analyses and reviews that shall form the basis for the development of government management.

DFØ consists of the following departments: the Management and Analysis Department, the Payroll Department, the Accounting Department and the Administration and IT Department. This assignment is connected to the Payroll Department in DFØ.

See www.dfo.no for further information on DFØ and our organisation.

DFØ is holding a tender contest with the aim of entering into a contract for the procurement of a system that makes "Self-service systems on mobile devices" available to SAP, as well as a maintenance contract for the procured system. It must be possible to connect the tool to SAP.

The process will be carried out as an open tender contest, so that the documentation for the qualification requirements and award criteria shall be submitted at the same time, and by the tender deadline stated in the notice and in this document (hereafter called the tender documentation). Tenderers'replies will be referred to as the tender.

The tender documentation gives tenderers the necessary information and guidelines for the qualification and tender phase.

DFØ would like to procure the necessary additional software for SAP so as to make "Self service systems on mobile devices" available for all our customers, as well as framework agreement for the procurement of licences and a maintenance contract for the procured system.

DFØ would primarily like a system that is well integrated with SAP. For us this means that we would like a system:

— that has multi company functionality (deals with company codes in SAP),

— that handles several productive clients in SAP,

— that can be connected to all our 5 SAP systems (development, test, production, training and sandbox),

— that requires the smallest amount possible of hardware in addition to the current existing SAP installation,

— that is without separate logging in with a user name and password,

— that give an option to register when there is no coverage and connection in the telecommunication or wireless network and synchronise when one has coverage,,

— where access to the greatest possible degree is governed by roles and authorisations in SAP

— where user support follows the current established structure in DFØ.

The system must not include requirements that MDM (Mobile Device Management must be installed on the mobile devices.

All the deliveries that are currently planned to be provided through mobile devices already exist, or are being developed in another project.
