Project Manager / Program Manager ABRO Portals

Project overview

The Ministry of Defence and NBIV use a secured portal for communication regarding NBIV investigations. Communication between the other purchasing organizations of tranche 1 and NBIV will soon take place via a specially designed portal. Communication intensifies when the other tranches join the ABRO. One integrated portal for all purchasing organizations, including Defence, suppliers, and the National Bureau of Industrial Security (NBIV), will provide efficiency gains for all parties.

The researcher's assignment is: Investigate the feasibility of an integrated ABRO portal, which the purchasing organizations of all tranches, including Defence, suppliers, and the National Bureau of Industrial Security (NBIV), will use. If feasibility is proven, coordinate the realization of a program of requirements and the potential tender.

The outcome of the investigation will be part of the preparation for the (political) decision-making in Q1 2027 regarding the application of the ABRO by other tranches (largely remotely).

On Mondays, the project managers and program management meet physically at BZK in The Hague. The requested commitment is a minimum of 24 (with a maximum of 32) hours per week, spread over at least 4 days a week.

Given the nature of the program, collaboration within the program has a hybrid form, partly at the Ministry of BZK, and flexibility in deployment and location is a requirement.

The assignment consists of two phases: 1) "Feasibility study broad ABRO portal" until March 1, 2027, and if this proves feasible, 2) coordinating the realization of a Program of Requirements and the potential tender until May 1, 2027.
