  • Department for Business & Trade

Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-0589f1

Description

The DBT Digital, Data and Technology team leads on development of AI tools and services within the Department for Business and Trade.

It does so through an 'AI³' model, which aims to identify, test, develop and evaluate use cases for applying artificial intelligence within the Department.

This model consists of three parts:

• AI Lab: Rapid, time limited exploration and assessment of AI use cases and experiments

• AI Factory: Development and operationalisation of experiments into production ready tools and components

• AI Operations: Maintenance, scaling, and operationalisation of AI solutions

The Authority is seeking to procure specialist expertise to support delivery of this model. We require this to take the form of suitably-skilled teams and individuals provided by the Supplier joining relevant AI³ teams and project teams within the AI Lab, AI Factory or AI Operations.

Supplier resources will work alongside and under the direction of Civil Servants within the DBT Digital, Data and Technology team within the Department.

This may be for both short and long-term projects as agreed via statements of work, and requiring a variety of digital and data skills.

For a more detailed description of this requirement, please refer to Appendix B of the ITP.
