AI Contracts and Tenders
See open AI tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
AI procurement covers generative AI pilots, machine learning tools and research, computer vision and large language model work, and AI-enabled assistants and copilots, plus the adoption training that goes with rolling them out. Buyers write it into IT, software and consultancy paperwork more often than into a dedicated AI line.
Councils, NHS trusts, universities, police forces and central government departments buy this work, mostly through general IT and software routes.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about ai contracts, artificial intelligence contracts, machine learning contracts, artificial intelligence, generative ai, machine learning, large language model, computer vision, ai platform, agentic AI in the UK public sector.
What counts as an AI tender in the UK public sector?
AI notices cover generative AI pilots, machine learning research, computer vision and large language model work, AI-enabled assistants and copilots, and the adoption training that goes with rolling them out. Councils, NHS trusts, universities and central government departments buy this work, almost always through general IT, software or consultancy routes rather than a dedicated AI category.
Does the word AI in a notice always mean an artificial intelligence contract?
No. Many UK tender templates list innovation and AI as one line in a scoring matrix, most often inside cleaning, maintenance and facilities contracts that have nothing to do with buying AI.
What CPV codes cover AI contracts?
There is no dedicated CPV code for artificial intelligence. Notices carry general codes instead: 48000000 (Software package and information systems), 72000000 (IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support) and 73000000 (Research and development services and related consultancy services).
How do I find AI contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read buyers' AI adoption plans, digital transformation strategies and pre-market engagement notices ahead of a formal tender. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
Do UK public bodies buy AI through dedicated AI tenders?
Rarely as a standalone category. AI tends to show up as a lot inside a bigger digital or software framework, such as a machine learning call-off under the CCS G-Cloud framework, or as one line inside a systems consultancy contract, rather than as its own procurement route.
