Consultancy and training AI offer
Authority: Jisc (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionJisc is looking to build on its already successful AI in-house resource, and expand its consultancy and training provision in the AI space.
To achieve this we need to ensure we have a bank of suitably knowledgeable and experienced external consultants who can work in conjunction with Jisc colleagues as Associates, to deliver high quality, evidence based and bespoke AI focussed work to our members and customers.
Jisc are building a picture of that extended AI consultancy and training provision and are seeking input from potential Associates, as well as Jisc members and customers, to help us.
We would very much appreciate it, if, as part of this early pre-market engagement, as an interested Consultant, you would answer the following questions:

Please include examples such as learning technology, digital education, academic development, assessment, staff development, professional services, governance or student support.
