Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Generative AI Safety Rapid Research Capability" has been completed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). This tender falls under the industry category of market research services and aims to enhance capabilities in the rapidly growing field of generative AI. Located in London, United Kingdom, the procurement followed a selective method, using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 1st December 2024, and the resulting contract commenced on 2nd December 2024, lasting until 31st March 2025. The total value of the contract is £200,000.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in market research services and those specialising in AI technologies. Large companies such as Capgemini, who was awarded the contract, are ideal candidates due to the project's scale and specific requirements. As the contract does not particularly favour SMEs or voluntary and community sector enterprises, businesses with substantial resources and expertise in managing large-scale research projects, particularly within the AI domain, are better positioned to benefit from similar future opportunities.
