Coverage: 31 active published awards; 29 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

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.
