Description

Crown Commercial Service has set up a Dynamic Purchasing System for the supply of artificial intelligence services. Crown Commercial Service is inviting suppliers to request to participate in the Artificial Intelligence DPS. This DPS offers a simple route to purchase artificial intelligence services in the public sector, allowing customers to access a wide range of competition in an emerging market, including discovery and consultancy services, licencing, customisation and support for AI applications, and end-to-end partnerships. If you are successfully appointed to the DPS following your submission you will be invited by customers (buyers) to submit tenders for relevant services through a call for competition. This DPS remains open for any supplier to request to participate throughout the duration of the DPS. CCS reserves the right to reduce, extend or terminate the DPS period at any time during its lifetime in accordance with the terms set out in the DPS contract. Additional information: Please be advised that an extension has been utilised on this DPS and the end date is now 23 February 2029. The contract value has also been increased and it is now £400m. Please note the Closing Date, Contract Start Date and Contract End Date have been manipulated to support compatibility system issues. Please refer to the contract notice for the correct dates, timelines etc.
