Aanbestedingsinstituut Mobiliteit

What Aanbestedingsinstituut Mobiliteit does

Aanbestedingsinstituut Mobiliteit (AIM), legally Stichting Aanbestedingsinstituut Mobiliteit, is a Dutch non-profit foundation founded in 2016 and headquartered in Culemborg. It was established by the social partners of the Dutch care transport and taxi sector — employers' organization KNV and trade unions FNV and CNV — to act as an independent knowledge institute advising parties that procure care transport, principally municipalities, health insurers, and care institutions. Its remit covers Wmo transport, student transport (leerlingenvervoer), Youth Act transport (Jeugdwetvervoer), and day care transport (dagbesteding). AIM operates exclusively in the Netherlands.

AIM's core offerings are advisory rather than technological. They include published tender analyses using an 18-theme evaluation framework, pre-tender consultation with contracting authorities, a published tendering calendar, periodic newsletters, and annual reports. In 2022 it issued 809 advisories; in 2023 and 2024 it analyzed 35 published tenders per year, with 14 early-stage involvements in 2024 and 11 pre-consultation procedures in 2023. Programmatic offerings include the "Zorgeloos Met Zorgvervoer" municipal advisory program and the Verbeteragenda Doelgroepenvervoer co-developed with the ministries of VWS, OCW, and IenW. AIM also commissioned law firm Ventoux for legal research on COVID-era contract adjustments and partners with Bureau Anderzoek on nationwide research into the social value of target group transport.

AIM operates without a profit motive. Advisory consultations are provided free of charge, with the institute funded through its social-partner backers and likely project-based public support. GTM is sales-led and direct: phone, contact form, and named contacts including Policy Director Joris de Vries. There is no proprietary technology, no app, no API, and no disclosed AI/ML capability — the asset is institutional credibility, tripartite sector backing, and accumulated analytical output rather than software.

Regional players

• Twynstra Gudde: Dutch consulting firm specializing in public-sector and mobility engagements, including tender support for Dutch municipalities and transport authorities. Comparable as a commercial provider of procurement and mobility advisory services in the same Dutch market.
• Berenschot: Large Dutch management consultancy firm that advises public-sector clients on procurement, mobility and social-domain policy. Comparable as a commercial consultancy with overlapping public-procurement advisory services for Dutch municipalities, but broader in scope and competing for the same municipal wallet share.

Direct peers

• CROW: Dutch technology platform for transport, infrastructure and public space. Comparable as a sector-specific knowledge institute that develops standards, guidelines and analytical tools used by Dutch public authorities — including in care/target-group transport where CROW working groups (referenced by AIM) shape tender quality criteria.
• PIANOo: Dutch Public Procurement Expertise Centre operated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Directly comparable as another publicly funded knowledge/advisory body that supports Dutch contracting authorities (including municipalities) in structuring and executing public tenders, including guidance on quality criteria and fair-procurement practices.

Broad incumbents

• TenderNed: The official Dutch government platform for publishing and managing public tenders. Comparable as a public-sector infrastructure layer in the same Dutch procurement ecosystem AIM serves, and a potential channel or substitute for some of AIM's tender-information services.
• Sociaal-Economische Raad (SER): Dutch Social and Economic Council, an advisory body bringing together employers, unions and independent experts. Comparable to AIM in being a tripartite advisory institution in the Netherlands — though operating at macro-economic/policy level rather than sector-procurement level.
• VNG (Vereniging van Nederlandse Gemeenten): Association of Netherlands Municipalities, representing the interests of all Dutch municipalities. Comparable as an institutional actor that shapes how municipalities procure social and care services (including Wmo transport), with overlapping influence on tender quality criteria.
• Kennisinstituut voor Mobiliteitsbeleid (KiM): Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis, a publicly funded knowledge institute under the Ministry of Infrastructure. Comparable as a Dutch policy-research body producing analysis and evidence that informs transport-sector decision-making, including target-group transport where AIM operates.

Emerging players

• Rebel Group: Dutch strategy and advisory firm with a strong public-mobility and procurement practice serving Dutch and EU public-sector clients. Comparable as a consultancy advising on transport-procurement strategy and policy, though operating commercially and across multiple sectors.
• Stichting Procurement Integrity (SPI): If identifiable — emerging niche organizations focused on fairness and integrity in Dutch public procurement. Listed as an adjacent emerging player because the mission (fair and transparent tendering) overlaps AIM's, though geographic and sectoral fit is unconfirmed.
