What is being bought

Published requirement description

MAG is seeking to appoint a Provider to an AI Technology Solutions Framework Agreement to deliver an AI Turnaround Solution.

The AI Turnaround project is within the Optimise Aircraft Movements programme in Transformation and is an enabler for MAG's Airfield digitization strategy.

The AI Turnaround project will provide accurate real-time data on turnaround events and the ability to better calculate Target Off Block Time and end of ground handling processes. The technology will eventually be rolled out to all stands at all 3 MAG UK airports.

It is anticipated that the AI Turnaround solution will prove the foundation for future AI Smart vision / computer vision development across other areas of the airport(s) operation. There is the potential for future AI technology requirements to be developed and utilised across MAG in partnership with the successful framework Provider.
