Tender description

To support the work of AISI and other AI teams within DSIT, we are looking to procure the services of a supplier to deliver AI related services across two main areas: AI Research services and AI Professional services delivered either by the supplier's own resources or specialised third party suppliers. The Supplier will be responsible for the delivery of projects by the specialist third party suppliers who DSIT cannot easily access through existing routes to market because suppliers are niche or emergent and lack the capacity to apply to public sector frameworks.
