An organization in Saskatchewan, Canada is seeking qualified vendors to provide artificial intelligence (AI) platform development services. The scope includes conducting a comprehensive organizational needs assessment, involving cross-departmental consultations and an analysis of the current state of AI readiness. This assessment will identify technical, operational, instructional, privacy, and governance gaps that need to be addressed.

Vendors will deliver an AI implementation report outlining a phased roadmap tailored to agency goals, highlighting immediate opportunities, pilot projects, and long-term enterprise visions. The report will also specify governance, ethics, compliance structures, and technical architecture requirements, including data governance models.

The project further involves the co-development of a secure, closed AI platform. This platform will feature an interactive tutor for students, with teacher access and visibility, and will support agency processes, analytics, and operational efficiencies. Key requirements include evaluating technical architecture options, integration with existing systems (such as Moodle LMS, Microsoft 365, SIS, content, and operational systems), and establishing privacy, security, and data retention frameworks. The anticipated contract period is one year.
