Frequently asked questions.

Aquizzit Intelligence brings together six practical tools: the Sourcing Radar, Supplier Top 250, Contract Health Check, Procurement Maturity Scan, live ICT tender dashboard and IT case law. The Intelligence menu lets you move directly between them.

The radar follows 25 current themes across sourcing, technology, regulation, security, cost and governance. Each topic includes impact, urgency, maturity, opportunity, contract impact, time horizon, trend, context and a concrete Aquizzit takeaway.

As you type, the search only suggests radar topics that will produce a result. You can also filter by Cloud, AI, Regulation, Contracts, Security, Cost, Governance and Sustainability. Selecting a suggestion opens the relevant analysis immediately.

Blue marks strategic developments that require directional choices. Green highlights opportunities that may create value or acceleration. Amber means prepare: the development requires analysis and readiness. Red is urgent and calls for governance or contractual action in the near term.

Adopt means a development is sufficiently proven and relevant to apply now. Assess calls for targeted investigation into impact and applicability. Observe is for early signals that merit active monitoring. Experiment fits promising but immature developments that should be tested on a small, controlled scale.

Distance from the centre represents the expected proximity of the effect. Now means 0–12 months and requires direct attention. Near is 12–24 months. Prepare is 24–36 months. Explore is 36 months or later. The position is an interpretation, not a predicted calendar date.

Contract Impact translates a development into the agreements it is likely to affect. Four out of five dots means high impact, for example. The analysis then identifies SLA, KPI, security, exit, licences, pricing model and governance. This turns a trend signal into a practical review agenda.

The Top 250 is an independent starting point for desk research, market consultation, an RFI or a longlist. It is not a ranking, quality certificate or automatic selection recommendation. It broadens the field; suitability must always be tested against your specific scope, risks and requirements.

You can search by supplier name, service or sourcing challenge. Predictive suggestions only show terms with results and immediately state the number of matches. You can also filter by initial letter, market segment, sourcing lens and origin. Each profile includes services, strengths, positioning and a relevant sourcing question.

The check contains eighteen statements across six perspectives: governance and ownership, performance and value, pricing and financial control, flexibility and change, risk and compliance, and continuity, dependency and exit.

As you answer, the check builds an overall score and a score for each perspective. It identifies the first priority and helps determine where evidence, agreements or governance need to be strengthened. You can print a completed result and start again. The scan is an initial indication, not legal advice.

The scan assesses 25 behavioural and governance characteristics across strategy, governance, contracts, supplier relationships, quality, invoicing, risk and exit. Every answer option includes a meaning and practical example. You receive a maturity profile, strengths and a first improvement priority. It is a practical baseline, not a certification.

The dashboard reads public TenderNed notices through the TNS service and selects IT services, software, hardware, telecoms and networks. This edition includes current notices and 2025 data. Every verified winner shown by name is connected through a unique key to its profile in the Supplier Top 250. TenderNed remains legally authoritative.

As you type, the dashboard suggests existing authorities, suppliers, ICT domains and CPV codes, including the number of matches. You can then combine European, open, market-consultation or awarded notices with domain, year, month and CPV filters. Every free-search term must occur in the notice.

The database contains 25 verified Dutch judgments from 2016 onwards on software development, IT services, licensing, procurement law, privacy, cyber risk and liability. Each ECLI includes the official source, core rule, contract impact, affected clauses and a concrete question for sourcing or contract management. The selection is general information, not legal advice.

You can search freely by ECLI, court, theme, clause or keyword. The search field only suggests existing ECLIs, courts and contract components and shows their match count. You can then refine by theme, judgment year, court and contract component.

No paid account or API key is required. Rechtspraak Open Data is public and free. An integration first searches ECLIs through the XML index and then retrieves available judgments individually, at no more than ten requests per second. Editorial verification remains necessary. Not all Dutch judgments are published; the judiciary is expanding coverage in stages.

Key topics include the Dutch Cybersecurity Act and NIS2, the AI Act’s new application phase, cloud switching and data access under the Data Act, vulnerability and reporting duties under the Cyber Resilience Act, and digital accessibility. Aquizzit translates these developments into requirements, evidence, acceptance, governance and supplier terms.

Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, HP, Cisco and Dell have a secure pilot cockpit. Each cockpit combines supplier signals, sourcing and contract risk, actions and a fictional procurement dashboard with contracts, purchase orders, invoices, exceptions and forecast.

Aquizzit selects five recent Dutch stories about sourcing, tendering, contracts, suppliers and relevant technology. Each item links to the original source and includes a concise summary and Aquizzit takeaway: what does the signal mean for strategy, governance or contracts?

The same four colours used in the Sourcing Radar show the meaning at a glance: strategic, opportunity, prepare or urgent. Each story can show three substantive connections: a named ICT supplier, a relevant tender and the corresponding radar development. This links news to the market, a contract opportunity and a course of action.

Aquizzit provides sourcing strategy, market insight, subject-matter leadership and contractual clarity. Tenderbot supports the tender process with digital intake, planning, collaboration and document generation. Technology accelerates the process while content and governance decisions remain leading.

Loket Social Return translates SROI obligations into analysis, planning, delivery, administration and demonstrable reporting. Aquizzit ensures Social Return is connected to the tender strategy and contractual agreements at the right time and in a workable way.

Click or tap Intelligence for the Sourcing Radar, Supplier Top 250, Contract Health Check, Procurement Maturity Scan, ICT tender dashboard and IT case law. All tools are presented vertically. Partners has its own dropdown. The same structure appears in the mobile menu.

The Knowledge Centre (Beta) combines monthly Aquizzit analyses, the Contract Impact method, downloadable checklists and a coded question library. Initial downloads include an ICT tender start checklist, Contract Review Canvas and supplier review scorecard.

Ask Aquizzit is a transparent AI knowledge assistant in beta. It searches the coded Aquizzit question library and returns a concise answer with a question code and link for further reading. Answers are general information, not legal or procurement-law advice.

Each question follows a fixed nomenclature: AQ plus a domain and sequence number. STR means strategy, GOV governance, CON contract, SUP supplier relationship, QUA quality, FIN invoicing, RSK risk and EXT exit. This lets the library grow in a controlled way.

The portal is currently a secured pilot with a dashboard preview, workstreams, milestones and shared reference documents. You can request access and then sign in with ChatGPT. Client-specific confidential documents will only be added once access roles and secure storage have been configured for each client.
