AI can help procurement teams move faster, but it also introduces new risks around confidentiality, accuracy, transparency, and accountability. This service gives a clear, Scotland-focused orientation to responsible AI use in procurement. It covers both sides of the process. Using AI to support tender work and bids, and buying AI systems or AI-enabled services in a way that stays proportionate and defensible.
