Dundir

The same rules, whoever is buying.

Dundir is designing a procurement solver that applies one set of rules across every project and buyer, inside your own perimeter. It is in development with design partners; nothing in this deck runs at a client yet.

The problem

Knowledge that leaves with the people.

Across dozens of projects and many buyers, each team decides its own way, and what it learned about suppliers leaves when the team changes.

of staff see a 500 to 600 million euro Dutch infrastructure project through from start to finish, an interviewee says. Supplier knowledge leaves with them.

Dutch public buyers must give the reasons for an award, to every bidder.

Procurement decisions Stage: research and design

Computing, not generating.

A language model writes an answer. An optimisation engine works one out.

Hard requirements are fixed first: certification, delivery date, budget ceiling, CO₂ limit. Price and reliability are weighed inside them, by weights you set. Same input, same answer, and the reasons written down at award.

Schematic of the design, no datasolver: research and design

Deployment Stage: design

Inside your perimeter.

Data and models are designed to stay inside your network: office, site server and gate.

No third-party cloud is needed to run it. That is the design, decided before the first line of the product.

Where we stand

Stage, not product.

Module Stage
Procurement solver research and design
Smart gate lab prototype
Supplier record and contract memory design

What we have not proven yet. That the solver buys better than an experienced buyer. The literature supports the problem and the local design; the rest has to come from pilot data, and we do not have it yet.

What we are asking for

Help shape the design.

  • A design partner. One category, its closed tenders and award reasons, compared again under one set of rules.
  • Your requirements. The security and procurement rules a system inside your perimeter has to meet.
  • Research. Windesheim University of Applied Sciences is Dundir’s research partner; a joint research track is one way in.
