HMG has set up AI lots in its frameworks, administered by CCS, including a dynamic purchasing system (set up in 2020, running until 2026) to which additional suppliers and products can be added at any time, with minimal rework. CCS and DSIT will be reviewing the routes for buyers to access the rapidly evolving market for these products and services, and where possible simplifying the process for buyers, rationalising the number of discrete frameworks, to allow for improved analysis of the use of these mechanisms to access the market. They will also gain feedback from existing buyers to improve the experience. Government response to Committee recommendation 51
