The procurement process is in the tender amendment stage and is targeted at the IT services industry, specifically in consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The contract, valued at £100,000, is to be delivered across locations including the United Kingdom and its territories. The procurement method is selective, available only for suppliers shortlisted on the CCS RM6200 Artificial Intelligence framework. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 2nd August 2024 and the contract duration from 12th August 2024 to 11th November 2024. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in AI and IT consulting services. The CPS aims to build a compelling business case to the Treasury to secure funding for large-scale AI deployment, which could greatly enhance productivity and transform public services. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate, providing they are part of the specified framework. This project is ideal for firms with experience in AI project implementation and those capable of delivering proofs of concept that demonstrate tangible benefits to senior stakeholders. ## Notice The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is developing a strategy to respond to the opportunities presented by AI in enhancing its business processes. The increasing number of arrests, the increasing volume of data and growing live caseload is putting considerable pressure on the criminal justice system. We need to develop new ways of working if we're to build public confidence in the system. To pursue AI at scale, the CPS needs to make a compelling business case to the Treasury, as part of the Spending Review process. This will give CPS the resources it needs to deliver its core functions over the next 3 years. There has been a strong focus on increasing productivity in public services, which we expect to form part of what's prioritised in the Spending Review. We believe that a compelling business case for investment in AI can enable the CPS to transform. We have developed a small number of proofs of concept to demonstrate to senior leaders what's possible through AI: using Microsoft Co-pilot to support back-office productivity; to provide legal advice to prosecutors; to support the drafting of letters to victims of crime and to enable prosecutors to explore case material submitted by Police Officers. We now need to translate this into a strategy to transform our business model. This opportunity is only available to those suppliers that have been shortlisted on the CCS RM6200 Artificial Intelligence framework. These suppliers have been notified via email to register on the CPS e-sourcing portal to access the ITT. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a12dbb0-8bb2-437e-95c6-f6b4e362fc51 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 2 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Aug 2024 - 11 Nov 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CPS | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 9EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 24 Oct 2024 at 14:07 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a12dbb0-8bb2-437e-95c6-f6b4e362fc51 - 24 Oct 2024 at 14:04 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a12dbb0-8bb2-437e-95c6-f6b4e362fc51 - 24 Oct 2024 at 13:56 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a12dbb0-8bb2-437e-95c6-f6b4e362fc51 - 24 Oct 2024 at 13:53 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a12dbb0-8bb2-437e-95c6-f6b4e362fc51 - 24 Oct 2024 at 13:52 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a12dbb0-8bb2-437e-95c6-f6b4e362fc51 - 29 Jul 2024 at 08:19 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a12dbb0-8bb2-437e-95c6-f6b4e362fc51 - 25 Jul 2024 at 09:55 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a12dbb0-8bb2-437e-95c6-f6b4e362fc51 - 19 Jul 2024 at 11:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a12dbb0-8bb2-437e-95c6-f6b4e362fc51 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a12dbb0-8bb2-437e-95c6-f6b4e362fc51 24th October 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/53820e2b-ef97-4d2d-802e-35c1b45c7c94 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ace24478-1271-4789-8032-6d9dd580f7a7 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
