This is a staff assessment of an employee who has been promoted to a higher technical level. Apparently also called an Anlassbeurteiling. The documents I have also include 'periodische Beurteilungen'.
I have found 'needs assessment' via a google search but that seems to apply to nursing patients and is the wrong meaning here. All I can think of is 'Required Assessment' but I don't think that is the right term.

Promotion assessment; assessment on promotion
I always recall "assessment reviews/ interviews" when I was working for BR, and I fancy I have always connected "assessment" more with staff performance than "evaluation", but maybe it's just a matter of taste.
I'd guess that it's company internal jargon (the "Bedarfsbeurteilung"); someone thought "well, now we are promoting XYZ to head of ABC, there is a "need" to assess them". As if they didn't know beforehand whether XYZ could do the job, perhaps?
