1. INTRODUCTION

The Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) is an
international organization located in Vienna, Austria. Its main task is to establish a global verification regime to
monitor compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), which bans all nuclear
explosions. The verification regime includes a global network of over than 337 monitoring facilities, using four
different technologies (seismic, hydro-acoustic, infrasound and radionuclide), a communications infrastructure,
an international data centre, and the capability to carry out on-site inspections.
Additional information on the CTBTO may be found at https://www.ctbto.org/.

The Commission intends to establish a Contract for “SAP SuccessFactors Implementation Project” (hereinafter
referred to as the “Work” and/or “Service”). The Contractor shall work with the Commission and shall provide
Services in accordance with these Terms of Reference (ToR).

This ToR defines the technical framework of all related activities to be performed during the delivery of
Services and contains all technical requirements for the activities which shall be carried out by the Contractor.

The Contractor shall carry out the Work in accordance with this ToR and in the most cost-effective manner
possible. For all work tasks, the Contractor must inform the Commission of the appropriate and current points
of contact, including contacts for 1) technical matters, 2) logistics matters, and 3) commercial matters. If these
points of contact change during any phase of the Work Tasks, the Contractor must inform the Commission
immediately in writing.

1.1 Key Project Objectives

On project completion, the following key project objectives are expected to have been achieved for the
enumerated stakeholders:

Stakeholder Objectives
1 Employees Accessible and relevant HR data for decision making
Automated administrative tasks and robust Hire-to-Retire processes
One unified Employee Self Service portal access for all employees
2 HR Users Enhanced user experience and fast access to HR business process
Less time spent and knowledge – needed for Human Resource processes
Easier, automated, and online H2R process leading to stronger HR
contribution
Better real-time analytics for informed decision making
3 Candidates One unified Candidate Self Service access portal for all interactions with
CTBTO
Candidates owned data enhance more data integrity
Automated HR business process-related tasks

1.2 Functional Specification

CTBTO is embarking on a new initiative to transform its hire-to-retire (H2R) process using SAP
SuccessFactors. The H2R process encompasses various steps and activities throughout the employee lifecycle,
from recruitment to retirement.

• Recruitment: The process begins with recruitment, where the need for new employees is identified,
and candidates are sourced, screened, and selected for open positions.
• Onboarding: Once candidates are selected, the focus shifts to onboarding, ensuring that new employees
are introduced to the company, its culture, and its policies and procedures.
• Training and Development: After onboarding, emphasis is placed on providing training and
development opportunities to equip employees with the skills and knowledge necessary for their roles.

3
• Performance Management: Continuous performance management follows, involving goal setting,
feedback provision, and regular performance evaluations to support employee growth and
productivity.
• Compensation and Benefits: Managing compensation and benefits forms an integral part of the H2R
process, encompassing salary, education grant, pension contributions, and other rewards/benefits.
• Career Development: Alongside training, career development opportunities are essential, fostering
advancement and professional growth for all employees.
• Employee Engagement: Creating a positive work environment and fostering employee engagement
are vital aspects of the H2R process, encouraging contribution to the company's success.
• Retention: Finally, retention strategies are implemented to identify and address factors contributing to
employee turnover and retain valuable talent within the organization.

By leveraging SAP SuccessFactors, CTBTO aims to streamline and optimize each stage of the H2R process,
ultimately enhancing employee experiences, driving productivity, and supporting organizational success. The
Commission is currently exploring several options for a new ERP solution to replace the existing system as
well.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

The Commission seeks to digitize its Hire to Retire(H2R) and workforce analytics processes using a phased
implementation methodology. CTBTO wants to embark on a transformation exercise through the
implementation of SAP SuccessFactors applications in addition to its exiting SAP ERP systems landscape,
which, as of today, consist of an ECC(EHP6), SuccessFactors (Recruitment and Performance), and SRM
systems as well as a Portal for Travel and Shopping Cart access. The core functionalities of the systems cover
Finance (e.g., Accounting, Treasury, Funds and Grant Management, Project Systems), Supply Chain (e.g.,
Shopping Carts, Requisitions, Purchase Orders, Goods Receipt and Goods Movement), Human Resources
(e.g., Organizational Management, Staff Administration, Recruitment, Payroll), and Travel functionalities. The
following sections describe the scope of work and other related information necessary for the submission of
proposals.

The contractor will be fully responsible (implementation and configuration) for the following key tasks in each
phase including all affected satellite systems:

2.1 Phase 1: Assessment and Detailed Blueprint Design

a. Assess existing key HR metrics, documents, certificates, and reports, and the current state of the
Commission’s complete HR business processes to help identify gaps, inefficiencies, and areas of
possible improvement (As-Is Review).
b. Research and identify industry best practises in the development of an integrated H2R process,
employee portal (work zone), recruitment, onboarding and offboarding, performance, learning and
development, workforce planning, payroll and education grant, workforce and succession planning,
employee engagement, and workforce analytics processes compatible to the Commission’s existing
procedures, governance, risk, control, and policies.
c. Develop and propose a new comprehensive set of HR business processes (“To-Be” processes)
covering the areas mentioned in points (a and b) above (see Appendix I for more details): including
standard SAP Human Experience Management system best practices, and other related knowledge.
d. Propose an innovative technical approach for developing a new payroll system into the “To Be”
business processes (optional).
e. Define implementation and architectural roadmap, landscape, configurations, development, security
and authorization protocols, system parameterization, business workflows, integrations, interfaces,
training plans, test procedures, quality and risk assessment metrics, etc. to deliver the “To-be”
business processes within SAP SuccessFactors modules.
f. Deliver a comprehensive implementation plan and key performance indicators that satisfies the
4
overall objectives of this ToR.
g. Present the proposed implementation plan and “To-be” reviews formally to the Commission for
approval.
h. Propose a routine improvement, maintenance, and support plan to ensure the continued effectiveness
and sustainability of the new solution.

As part of the preliminary evaluation and assessment work, a workshop shall be held to discuss the technical
concept and plan, as well as to allow the Commission’s technical staff to review the submitted documents and
plans. The Contractor shall update the documentation with any changes discussed and agreed upon during the
workshop before starting the implementation. The initial submission for the Commission’s review and any
