AI and advanced software

Requirements in AI tenders depend on the use case, risks, data handling and procurement model.

An AI tender may request evidence on system behaviour, data governance, risk controls, human oversight and monitoring in use.

The use case determines what the bid must demonstrate

An off-the-shelf AI product, software potentially subject to export controls and a research and development procurement do not follow the same route.

Common procurement categories include:

Decision support and analytics systems
Document, language, and speech processing
Computer vision and sensing applications
Model development, tuning, and integration
Data preparation, labelling, and governance
Pilots, proofs of concept, and evaluations
Model auditing, testing, and bias assessment
Hosting, monitoring, and model operations
Advisory on AI governance and compliance

AI systems and AI-embedded software sold directly to public buyers

The bid addresses the tender's requirements for intended use, risk management, data, oversight and monitoring.

Software with dual-use export-control exposure

If the software or related technical assistance is subject to export controls, the supplier must check licensing requirements for the product, destination and recipient.

Genuinely novel AI or software bought through a dedicated R&D-to-purchase procedure

Where no ready-made solution exists, a buyer may procure research and development or use an innovation partnership. The procurement documents identify the chosen procedure.
