Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) has recently awarded a contract titled "PS24298 Computer Supply and Demand Model" to Mckinsey & Company Inc UK. The procurement falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services (CPV: 73000000). This award was a result of a mini competition under the CCS DPS RM6200 Artificial Intelligence initiative. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract is valued at £204,000 and covers various locations including the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The contract period started on 5 February 2025 and will run until 31 March 2025.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the AI and R&D sectors, particularly SMEs, as the project aims to inform Compute Strategy by developing a compute supply and demand scenario model for future compute infrastructure in the UK. This could encourage partnerships with larger firms like Mckinsey & Company Inc UK or lead to potential subcontracting opportunities. Businesses with expertise in consultancy and research services, especially those focusing on artificial intelligence and computational infrastructure, would find this type of procurement advantageous for growth and innovation.
