The Norwegian Government Agency for Financial Management (DFØ) is holding a negotiated procedure with the aim of entering into a contract for the further development of DFØ's mobile platform connected to DFØ's SAP payroll system. This document states the detailed qualification requirements and the selection criteria for tenderers who would like to participate in the pre-qualification before the competition for the further development of DFØ's mobile front end for the SAP system.
In 2014, DFØ entered into a contract for the development of a mobile platform for the SAP system. This platform is based on technology from Neptune Software. At the current time this mobile platform has functionality for registering hours, applications for leave and a quota overview. However, when the work starts, the platform will also include functionality for entering travel expenses, travel applications, inbox and hours, travel and payslips. This competition is for the further development of DFØ's mobile system, including the development and implementation of new functionality.
DFØ would like to make the forms available that exist in the current portal system (SAP, ESS) on the mobile application. The forms (webdynpro ABAP) are specially developed for DFØ and enable a user in the portal system to demand variable wages, extra tax deductions, apply for transfer of holiday days and the payment of hours from overtime/travel time. A user will also be able to edit their personal profile, as well as see a list of all submitted forms. The forms shall be started by the employee and go in a work flow to the controller, executive officer and manager for approval/change — depending on the type of form.
It is important that the system is user friendly and based on the same user interface as the existing mobile application, provided by DFØ (Neptune Software). This means, amongst other things, that the system, also after the further development, shall function on units with Android and iOS operative systems and it will be available via the general App stores for these operative systems.
