What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionUK Research and Innovation (UKRI) brings together the seven Research Councils (AHRC, BBSRC, EPSRC, ESRC, MRC, NERC, STFC) plus Innovate UK and a new organisation, Research England.
The services tendered in this document are part of a wider programme to stimulate the adoption of AI & ML technologies in lower-AI-maturity sectors of the UK economy. The wider programme will achieve its objectives by building an innovation network to stimulate both demand and supply side engagement, develop end-user driven AI technologies and address systemic barriers limiting adoption, namely skill gaps affecting the supply side and lack of understanding of technology affecting the demand side, both of which affect the ability to map business challenges to the right AI & ML technologies to solve these problems. The programme aims to increase adoption and diffusion of AI among adoption laggards which will have a positive impact on underperforming sectors and on UK productivity, ensuring AI benefits all sectors of the UK economy.
The overall aim of the programme is to support the transition to an AI-enabled economy, capturing the benefits of AI innovation in the UK, and ensuring AI technologies benefits all sectors.
The objective of this tender exercise is to sign contracts with a supplier of a training provision that will support UKRI - Innovate UK with content generation and delivery of courses designed to create Data & AI leadership in UK organizations within the construction sector that seek to adopt AI & ML technologies.
