The Future of AI in the Public Sector
AI is being heavily invested in by the UK Government, with £2 billion going towards the AI sector since 2019. It has been estimated that AI could add an additional £630 billion to the UK economy by 2035, increasing the annual growth rate of GVA from 2.5% to 3.9%. The Government is also currently spending over £1 billion on cyber security data solutions annually.
Technology Services 3 was incredibly successful, as was the second iteration. Since 2021, £3.49 billion has been spent via Technology Services 3.
What is an Open Framework?
Open Frameworks will be available to Contracting Authorities from October 28th, 2024.
Unlike traditional closed Frameworks, Contracting Authorities will be permitted to appoint new suppliers to the Framework during its lifetime. To facilitate this, open Frameworks may be opened at least twice whilst they are already live. They will also be permitted to run for up to 8 years – twice the length of most traditional Framework Agreements. This will hopefully be more inclusive of smaller and newer suppliers.
Technology Services 4 will be an 8-year open Framework, which will be re-opened to accept new suppliers after years 3 and 5.
