1. Lot 11. Unterstützung in der Softwareentwicklung

   60 months

   After its foundation, uni-assist developed a complex, cross-university software: aBIS (assistBewerberInformationsSystem). After the first application process was successfully completed with this software in 2004, additions and improvements were made: this second generation aBIS2 is still in use today. The focal points of this software are: - Support in the certificate examination, - Provision and evaluation of the results for the universities, - Presentation application process of prospective students. In more than 20 years, the framework conditions have changed completely: 41 start-up universities have become almost 150 member universities, the study system has been fundamentally changed by the Bologna process and online applications are a matter of course in a digital world. The currently used software solution thus reaches massive limits of expansion. There is a monolithic structure that is no longer maintainable and has reached the end of its life cycle. The very limited documentation and increasing staff retention for the maintenance of operations lead to a growing risk for uni-assist. Supported by funds from the BMBF, the most recent launch of the application portal (mya) and the university portal (PoMM) took place between 2016 and 2019. Both have created the conditions to cope with large increases in applications. The aim of uni-assist e.V. is to develop a new service IT system to support admission preparation at German universities. Based on a proprietary software (aBIS) that has reached the end of its life cycle and in view of the accelerating digitalisation of admission preparation, the growing interest of international degree seekers in studying in Germany and the currently frequently described need for (international) specialists in Germany 1, it is indispensable for the association to quickly establish a new system in order to (i) provide international prospective students with an intuitive and easy-to-use platform for submitting their application for study, (ii) to enable the German universities organised in the association to carry out a transparent and fair selection process, (iii) to map the internal evaluation processes efficiently and high-quality and (iv) to develop them on the basis of the generated data, recommendations for action and process optimisations for internal and external stakeholders. The central goals of the software development project are (i) the technological successive replacement of the old system, (ii) the increase in the degree of automation in the process processes and (iii) the complete digitization of the processes with (iv) simultaneous increase in usability for users as well as (v) the maintenance and safeguarding of all (data protection) legal standards. The main objectives of the development of the new uni-assist service system are, compared to the old system, to reduce complexity and to make the software more flexible and robust overall. This requirement poses particular challenges to the software architecture. Both the service architecture, the system architecture and the technological implementation in development must be taken into account. Domain-driven design aspects help make the software more robust and flexible at all three levels. The services to be awarded via the DBS are divided into 5 categories / subject areas: 1. support in software development (e.g. programming, controlling the Scrum teams, testing) 2. support in requirements management 3. support in system administration 4. Support in the coordination of the software development project and consulting of the IT department (e.g. PMO, project management, Agile Coaching, Data Management) Further information regarding the services sought and the requirements required for this, as well as information on the specific performance period will be published in the second phase of the procedure. In principle, the contractor is free in his task according to time, place and manner. Start and end of deployment depend on the p…
