Description

Artificial Intelligence ( including Gen AI) represents a significant, if not unprecedented opportunity and challenge for DWP. We have already seen a mushrooming of interest within DWP which mirrors that of wider government and society. Although DWP already have some existing uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI and its applications have become a major new technology disrupter as it is opening up many previously unforeseen opportunities.

Having carried out a series of Proof-of-Concept experiments into Generative AI, the AI & Innovation Directorate is seeking to procure under a separate RFP, services to deliver:

1. Innovation & Ideation
2. Strategy & Control
3.Delivery & Scaling
4. Integration & Optimisation
5. Maintenance

We will be holding a market information session week commencing 5th of August 2024. Suppliers registered on RM6200 (AI DPS Framework) by 30th July 2024 will be invited to the event. This shall be followed up by an Expression of Interest (EOI) which may include a capability test.

Only suppliers who have expressed an interest and completed the capability assessment will be invited to tender.
