    Brief

    The Government Commercial Agency (GCA) seeks a consulting partner to deliver a three-phase programme accelerating artificial intelligence adoption across government procurement operations. Phase 0 (Discovery) involves reviewing GCA business operations, analysing workflow impacts from increased volumes, and developing four clear problem or opportunity statements to guide AI implementation. Phase 1 (AI Garage - Optional) includes evaluating up to four AI vendors through a structured demonstration event to validate capabilities and shortlist suppliers for proof-of-concept work. Phase 2 (Proof of Concepts - Optional) provides advisory and governance support for one to four 90-day pilot projects, with the consultant managing setup, oversight, and early-stage course corrections while the selected supplier and GCA team retain day-to-day delivery responsibility. The programme aims to improve GCA productivity and digital capability by identifying AI opportunities, evaluating suitable vendors, and supporting practical implementation. Suppliers should demonstrate expertise in AI technology assessment, vendor evaluation methodologies, and change management within government or large-scale procurement environments.
