Description

A three-phase consulting programme to accelerate AI integration within government procurement operations. The core objective is to help the GCA improve productivity and digital capability by identifying AI opportunities, evaluating vendors, and supporting proofs of concepts. Phase 0 - Discovery: Review business operations across GCA, based on the business plan and GCF strategy contemplate the extent that workload would increase with increased volumes, from this develop an opportunity long-list, and define four clear problem or opportunity statements. Phase 1 - AI Garage (Optional): Evaluates four AI vendors in a structured event to demonstrate practical delivery, validate capability, and shortlist suppliers for the POC stage. Phase 2 - Proof of Concepts (Optional): Provides advisory and assurance support for one to four 90-day POCs funded by GCA to manage setup, governance, and early course corrections. (Note: OSP does not run the POCs day-to-day; delivery remains the responsibility of the selected supplier and the GCA team).
