Notice Title

DWP AI Transcription

Notice Description

The Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) is undertaking market research to understand market capability in speech-to-text transcription (in-person and other channels), optional summarisation, and multilingual support (including translation), to improve the accessibility, consistency and efficiency of our citizen and colleague interactions. This RFI does not commit the DWP to undertaking any formal procurement activity. This notice has also been published on Contracts Finder. For further information and details on how to respond to this RFI, please refer to the attachment found on the documents section of the Atamis e-Procurement portal: https://dwp2.my.salesforce-sites.com/ProSpend__CS_ContractPage?SearchType=Projects&uid=a1MdO000003ZoY5UAK&searchStr=&sortStr=Recently+Published&page=1&filters=&County=

Lot Information

Lot 1

We are exploring commercially available solutions (both COTS and API based) that can generate accurate transcriptions and provide different summary outputs for different operational contexts. We also want users to be able to review and edit the transcript and generated summary to produce an agreed record, including the ability to add annotations, and to share/export outputs using approved channels.

Due to the early stage of this engagement, there are certain aspects of any associated procurement activities that are yet to be determined. As such, please ignore the Contract Notice Publication Date in this notice.
