Supporting responsible AI adoption in the Public Sector
Artificial Intelligence is transforming how organisations plan for the future, but for many in the public sector it can feel complex and uncertain.
The Local Government Association (LGA) has recently published guidance to help authorities procure AI responsibly, giving structure to what has often been an unclear area. The guidance highlights key areas such as data security, contingency planning and ensuring equality and diversity are rightly front of mind. This is a welcome step in creating the confidence needed to move from conversation to practical action.
Through NEPRO³, we're helping public sector buyers embed these principles, allowing buyers to explore AI in a way that is safe, transparent and aligned with public sector values.
The UK Government’s AI Transformation Fund, with £42 million available for pilot projects, signals strong commitment to real-world AI implementation across public services. In response, we’ve launched a dedicated AI subcategory within the Information, Communication and Technology category of NEPRO³, making it easier to connect with innovative SMEs at the forefront of this emerging market.
With 140 suppliers already in the marketplace, authorities have the opportunity to trial and adopt AI solutions in a controlled, responsible way that delivers lasting value.
