What is being bought

Published requirement description

CPS has set out to use AI proactively to ‘change the game’ and use it to transform our processes and unlock wider system thinking. Copilot presents a significant opportunity in this regard. There is widespread recognition of the scale of opportunity, and that with people as our key investment and asset, AI has an important role to help us improve productivity.

Copilot, specifically, can streamline tasks and enhance workplace efficiency, thus providing more value for money than custom AI solutions. We will invest in productivity initiatives that will benefit a large volume of colleagues, leveraging the capabilities of Copilot.
