Overview
The Intelligent Automation Garage (IAG) is DWP's in-house robotic centre, based out of Newcastle and Manchester sites. DWP are interested in understanding which suppliers are currently offering their services in developing robotic solutions utilising Robotic Processing Automation (RPA), Virtual Assistants (Chat-Bots), Machine Learning (ML), the services they offer and the necessary costs involved.
The IAG is a collaborative working space where fast paced, business led, innovative software development happens using Agile and design led practises. The objectives of the IAG are to: • Standardise governance and practises across automation based initiatives; • Engage directly with automation vendors to minimise costs & follow a best of breed approach; • Build out initial projects & establish an 60:40 in-house model and capability.
DWP is seeking to engage potential suppliers through a Request for Information (RFI) to inform the department's future requirements. Following receipt of RFI responses, DWP is intending to meet interested suppliers for further discussion, depending on the levels of interest.
