## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has concluded a public procurement process to appoint AI Services Delivery Partner for supporting Artificial Intelligence initiatives across two main areas: AI Research and AI Professional services. This tender falls within the industry category of Information Technology Services (CPV 72222300) and was procured using an open procedure below the threshold. The awarded contract has a value of £4,500,000 and will run from 5th February 2026 until 4th February 2027, with delivery expected in London, United Kingdom. Capgemini UK PLC has been successfully awarded the contract as a supplier, with the award being published on 26th February 2026, marking the award stage of the procurement.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth in the emerging field of AI services, especially for SMEs and VCSEs that are looking to collaborate or acquire specialised third-party resources. It seeks suppliers capable of undertaking AI-centric projects that DSIT cannot access through traditional public sector frameworks, thus, providing niche and emerging firms the chance to present innovative solutions. Companies with expertise in AI research and professional services, particularly those who can provide or coordinate niche third-party services, would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, enhancing their business scope and market presence in the technology sector.

## Notice

To support the work of AISI and other AI teams within DSIT, we are looking to procure the services of a supplier to deliver AI related services across two main areas: AI Research services and AI Professional services delivered either by the supplier's own resources or specialised third party suppliers. The Supplier will be responsible for the delivery of projects by the specialist third party suppliers who DSIT cannot easily access through existing routes to market because suppliers are niche or emergent and lack the capacity to apply to public sector frameworks.
