## About this tender

\*\*\*For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a call for competition. This notice is to request feedback from the market to inform future decisions\*\*\*

UK Research and Innovation wish to procure an Auto-Classification Tool.

The service required is the ability to classify the UKRI portfolio of applications and awards (Research Councils, Research England, Innovate UK) to a pre-existing classification system. The need for automating the classification is to reduce time spend on manual categorisation and improve operational efficiency. The solution is to classify new applications and our historic portfolio.

In addition we require a solution to identify Trusted Research and Innovation for a quarterly report to DSIT - e.g. key word search.

Requirements:

### In Scope

AL/ML solution: the development of an AI/ML model to classify unstructured data into a structured system

Data Integration: Integration of the classification system with existing data sources

Model training and customisation: the vendor is responsible to train the AU/ML model using existing or new datasets to ensure classification accuracy

System Deployment and Testing: Deployment of the solution in a live environment, including user acceptance testing to ensure it meets requirements.

Post Deployment support: on going support, maintenance, periodic retraining of the AI/ML model to maintain performance over time.

### Out of Scope

### Provision of hardware or IT infrastructure

### Custom development beyond core classification functionality

Potential Demand: Demand may fluctuate, based on the volume of new applications being processed. The vendor should ensure the solution can scale to accommodate this.

Known Constraints: compliance with data protection and our Data Protection Privacy Impact Assessment and meeting GDPR requirements.

\*\*\*There is no commitment at this stage that the above mentioned opportunity will proceed in its current format\*\*\*
