Procurement: Digital, Data and AI Forum

Overview

This forum is a subgroup of the Public Procurement Group (PPG).

It provides leadership and coordination of digital, data and artificial intelligence (AI) activity across Scottish public procurement, supporting greater standardisation, transparency and efficiency across the procurement lifecycle.

The forum will identify opportunities to align, prioritise and scale solutions across sectors, while promoting collaboration, reuse and lesson sharing to reduce duplication. It will also support safe and ethical adoption of AI, and strengthen the use of data and insight to improve decision-making and drive continuous improvement across the system.
