HR-Solutions Tender

TenneT, a leading transmission system operator in the Netherlands and Germany, is committed to the energy transition by integrating renewables and modernizing infrastructure. The company is undergoing an organizational split, resulting in two independent operators and requiring separation of shared IT landscapes.

With more than 5,000 employees in Germany and continued growth, TenneT faces increasing demands on its HR systems. The current fragmented, outdated HR-IT setup—relying heavily on manual processes and tools like Outlook and Excel—is unsustainable. The organizational split also necessitates new legal and local compliance for Germany.

To address these challenges, TenneT Germany is implementing a modern, integrated HR Core System and Payroll System, alongside an HR Service Platform. These systems will communicate in real time and connect with existing solutions, streamlining HR operations and supporting future growth.
Lot 1 – HR Core System & Payroll System: This lot focuses on the implementation of a modern and integrated HR Core System alongside a new Payroll System. The goal is to provide stable, user-friendly solutions that replace fragmented, outdated HR-IT systems and ensure seamless, real-time communication between HR and payroll processes.
Lot 2 – HR Service Platform:  centers on introducing an HR Service Platform designed to connect effortlessly with the new HR Core and Payroll System. This platform aims to streamline HR operations, reduce manual effort, and enhance employee support by also integrating with existing systems such as SAP HCM.

It is possible to offer bids on combined lots. Bids on combined lots are evaluated and ranked by applying the same evaluation method based on the most economic offer. A bid on combined lots will be awarded only in the case that the included offer for Lot 1 is more economic than each of the bids on single lot 1 and the included offer for Lot 2 is more economic than each of the bids on single lot 2.

The upper limit of the framework agreement was deliberately set very high and should not be understood as an estimate, but merely as an upper limit in accordance with the case law of the ECJ (judgment of June 17, 2021, C-23/20 – Simonsen & Weel).
