    Brief

    This is a contract details notice for a non-competitive procurement. The supplier will develop an AI-enabled portfolio intelligence tool to support analysis of Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) project information. The solution will enable users to explore SIF project data through portfolio dashboards, natural language search queries, evidence mapping, and thematic analysis capabilities. The deliverables include a working Version 1 prototype, data ingestion and structuring functionality, stakeholder testing and refinement sessions, demonstration materials, comprehensive handover documentation, and recommendations for future improvements. This is a single-supplier contract due to absence of competing suppliers with the required technical capabilities.
