In der Bundesverwaltung für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung sind seit 2002 SAP-basierte IT-Verfahren für administrative Zwecke entwickelt, projektiert und in den gegenwärtigen Produktivbetrieb überführt worden. Diese SAP-Verfahren werden durch bis zu 69 Behörden der gesamten BVBS weitgehend standardisiert genutzt. Die organisatorisch-technische Basis für den SAP-Betrieb ist verteilt auf — das Referat II.3 beim DLZ-IT BMVBS, welches die Fach- und Systemadministration für die SAP basierten IT-Verfahren wahrnimmt, — das Rechenzentrum beim Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH) mit Zuständigkeit für die technische SAP-Infrastruktur, — das Netzwerk-Kompetenz-Zentrum (NKZ) beim Deutschen Wetterdienst (DWD) als Betreiber des BVBS-weiten Weitverkehrsnetzes (BVBS-WAN). Kern der SAP-Anwendungen sind die beiden IT-Komplexverfahren Master Template MaAGIE (MTM) und das Personalverwaltungssystem (PVS). Das Verfahren MTM umfasst folgende SAP-Module: — Haushaltsmanagement und Finanzwesen, — Anlagenbuchhaltung, — Kosten- und Leistungsrechnung, — Projektsystem, — Materialwirtschaft/Beschaffung — Instandhaltung Das Verfahren PVS basiert auf dem SAP-Personalverwaltungsmodul HCM. Zum Einsatz kommt hierbei auch das Modul eRecruiting. Daneben werden weitere SAP-Verfahren betrieben, z.B.: — Liegenschaftsverwaltung (auf Basis des SAP Moduls RE), — Dokumentenmanagement/Vorgangsbearbeitung (auf Basis des SAP-Moduls PS-RM). Die Einführung weiterer SAP-basierter Verfahren ist in Planung. Für die Verfahren werden Mehr-Systemlandschaften (z.B. Entwicklungssystem, Qualitätssicherungssystem, Produktivsystem, Schulungssystem) unter SAP R/3 Release 4.7 bzw. ERP 6.0 betrieben. Die einzelnen Verfahren verfügen über verschiedene Möglichkeiten zum Datenaustausch und Schnittstellen mit anderen SAP- sowie Nicht-SAP-Anwendungen. Eine PI-Integrationsplattform wird eingesetzt. Für die Personalverwaltung ist der Einsatz eines Testdatenkopierwerkzeugs angedacht. Die speziellen Anforderungen an die Qualitätssicherung beim Betrieb der SAP-basierten IT-Verfahren beim DLZ-IT sind in den Notwendigkeiten von Änderungen in den Anwendungen begründet. So sorgen zum Beispiel Funktionserweiterungen und Service Packages dafür, dass sich die Systeme ständig verändern. Jede dieser Änderungen muss qualitätsgesichert werden. Neben allgemeinen QS-Aktivitäten wie Prüfung und Review von Dokumenten werden die innerhalb des SAP Solution Managers bereitgestellten Testmanagementkomponenten, z.B. eCATT, TestWorkbench, zum Testen von SAP-Anwendungssoftware genutzt. Innerhalb der Geschäftsprozessstruktur von Projekten werden Testfälle den Geschäftsprozessschritten zugeordnet. In Testplänen werden die für die Teststufe benötigten Testfälle ausgewählt und organisiert. Im Anschluss werden Testpakete gebildet und den Testern zugeordnet. Gefundene Abweichungen werden erfasst, verwaltet und ggf. per SAP-Workflow gesteuert. Die Auswertung der Tests erfolgt im Testplan. Automatisierungsanforderungen werden mit eCATT abgedeckt. Durch die systemtechnische Einrichtung des Business Process Change Analyzer sollen die Geschäftsprozesse, die von einer Änderung am System (z.B. Support Packages) betroffen sind, identifiziert werden und der Testumfang festgelegt werden. Für die IT-Qualitätssicherung auf Seiten der Fach- und Systemadministration im Referat II.3 des DLZ-IT BMVBS sind die entsprechenden Geschäftsprozesse zum Testmanagement und zugehörige Regelungen eingeführt. Ein externer Dienstleister soll das Referat II.3 bei allen auftretenden Fragen und in sämtlichen Aktivitäten der Qualitätssicherung unter den gegebenen Rahmenbedingungen unterstützen.

(End of clause) Legal Effect of Quotations A quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a supplier's quotation does not establish a contract. The order is an offer by the Government to the supplier to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the supplier accepts the offer. When appropriate, the contracting officer may ask the supplier to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government, preferably in writing. In other circumstances, the supplier may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered or by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred. If the Government issues an order resulting from a quotation, the Government may (by written notice to the supplier, at any time before acceptance occurs) withdraw, amend, or cancel its offer NOTICE TO POTENTIAL CONTRACTORS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY This is to inform all potential contractors on the current support policy for RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom. 1. The contractor is responsible for bearing the costs of the following items: a. Movement and/or storage of household goods and personally owned vehicles. b. Before shipping a personally owned vehicle ensure that the UK will allow you to bring it into the country. Military/DoD civilians are authorized to ship one per military/DoD civilian member per the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). A contractor may not be authorized since they do not fall under the SOFA. It may be more beneficial to purchase a UK spec used car. Generally, you can find a decent used UK spec car for around $3000. c. Obtain and maintaining VISA which grants entry to and the right to work in the UK. Go on line and view the UK Border Agency's website for further information. d. Federal income taxes, Medicare, and Social Security contributions. You are responsible to pay all required taxes. W-2's are not provided. e. Government housing is not provided nor available. f. Logistical Support (Base Exchange, Commissary, Morale Welfare & Recreation (MWR), and Service Station privileges) may or may not be provided. The Performance Work Statement will indicate if Logistical Support is provided. g. Contractor children are authorized to attend Department of Defense Dependent Schools (DODDS) and pay the tuition cost. For additional information please visit www.dodea.edu and click on the European link. British schools are also available in the local area and can be researched online. 2. When living on the British economy here are some items that you may want to keep in mind: a. Have sufficient funds to get into a home - normally you are required to put down a security deposit worth one and a half months rent along with the first month's rent. This can be very expensive depending on rental cost. Research UK Letting Agencies for information on rental housing and costs. (Example: a 3-bedroom home costs £1400.00 per month resulting in an approximate cost of £3500.00 (1.5 months worth of deposit and first month's rent) - that translates into $5600.00 using an average exchange rate of $1.60.) This is just an example, housing cost can run higher and lower than the example. b. Utility deposits - generally not required in the UK, but recommend you research. c. Electricity. Uk standard is 220V. Appliances from the US, unless dual voltage will require a transformer in order to operate in the UK. US TVs will not be able to receive UK channels; this is because Europe uses PAL and the US runs on NTSC. d. Purchasing fuel on the economy is very expensive, go online and check current prices. Please note that fuel is purchased by liter. If you are authorized Logistical Support you may purchase fuel on base. e. Contractors may be required to pay Council Tax which is based on your homes location within any given city/town/village. This generally covers garbage, sewer, Police, etc. As a contractor you do not fall under the SOFA therefore you may NOT be exempt from paying Council Tax. Suggest you research online. f. Other taxes/costs that are required: i. Annual Television Tax (about £120) ii. Road Tax (depends on the type of vehicle and engine size, and if you pay yearly or semi-annually. Annual cost could be anywhere between £100 to £300) iii. Ministry of Transport test (MOT) - annual vehicle inspection. (about £40) iv. Light conversion for U.S. specification vehicles (if imported). g. Rent and utilities are set up for automatic withdrawal so getting a UK checking account may be beneficial. If authorized Logistical Support this can also be done at the Community Bank on the base. 3. The above information is by no means all inclusive but rather a snap shot of what you may encounter. If a staffing agency is being used certain costs may be covered by that agency. Please check with them for details. If submitting an independent proposal, it is advisable that you seek legal council to determine what may be required in order to work or be employed in the UK. 4. Note: This information is geared towards contractors who do not have Military/DoD dependent status. Dependents should already have a VISA and are authorized Logistical Support based on their dependency status.
