Who is Mercell AI for?
Mercell AI is aimed at procurement & tendering and government & municipalities. It supports work such as spend analysis: classifying expenditure, normalising suppliers and finding savings; sourcing, assessing and monitoring supplier risks (ESG, compliance); setting up RFIs, RFQs and eAuctions; and comparing and awarding bids.
What should I look out for with AI in procurement & tendering?
Quotes, prices, contracts and submissions are commercially confidential; supplier and contact details also contain personal data. Sign a data processing agreement, ask where the data is stored (EU hosting) and which AI sub-processors are used, and get it recorded that your bids and spend data are not used to train models. Never paste confidential documents from an ongoing tender into a free chatbot. In public procurement, the Dutch Public Procurement Act and the principles of equal treatment and transparency apply: do not let AI award or exclude on its own, and explain how an assessment was reached. If you as a public body procure AI yourself, use the PIANOo guideline 'Buying or having algorithms and AI developed' and take the AI Act into account. An AI-generated submission remains your responsibility: check every commitment.
