Transparency of AI use in bids... it's coming

A special heads up to all my South African and African sales peeps and business owners who tender for government contracts!

Do you know about the UK government's Procurement Policy Note: PPN 02/24 - Improving Transparency of AI Use in Procurement?

It's fascinating! Essentially, the bidder must disclose their use of AI in the preparation of their bid for UK government contracts. 

The purpose of this policy is to:

Promote transparency: It requires suppliers to disclose if they used AI to prepare their bids or deliver services, so public buyers can understand how proposals are developed.

Protect data and trust: It safeguards sensitive information by preventing suppliers from using confidential tender content to train AI models.

Improve due diligence: It helps contracting authorities assess the accuracy and reliability of AI-assisted bids, ensuring decisions are based on credible, deliverable solutions.

There is nothing like this in place yet in South Africa or Africa but it is coming... Watch this space👀
