Questions about Scoutbee
- Which AI model does Scoutbee use?
- The maker of Scoutbee does not disclose which AI model sits underneath. It uses large language models for supplier search; which model is not public. ISO 27001 and TISAX. Hosting is not public: ask, especially after the acquisition by Coupa (US).
- What does Scoutbee cost?
- on request (free profile for suppliers). Check the current price on the provider's website; prices change often.
- Who is Scoutbee for?
- Scoutbee is aimed at procurement & tendering. It fits work such as spend analysis: classifying spend, normalising suppliers and finding savings; searching for, assessing and monitoring suppliers for 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.
