What is being bought

To enable widespread AI adoption, DSIT is responding to the AI Management Essentials public consultation by developing two pieces of guidance to be published in September as part of a wider package of announcements. One of these publications will be 'AI Govern’ to support deployers to effectively govern their AI systems. The framework will support firms seeking to adopt or deploy AI systems by providing generalisable guidance for firms operating across different domains, value chains, and with differing risk appetites. The framework will set out a process to ensure deployers have taken effective measures to assure their AI systems. To develop the framework, we require additional expertise to build out guidance on the technical activities firms can take to appropriately measure, evaluate and mitigate the risks of deploying their AI system.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Research services (73110000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 732,1953 median · 31.8 average (745 of 2,195 with a bid count)2.6 average (845 of 2,195 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer192 median · 2.3 average (8 of 19 with a bid count)1 average (9 of 19 with named award suppliers)Not published
Delivery region: UK9362 median · 61.6 average (305 of 936 with a bid count)3.3 average (361 of 936 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
