In December 2021, the Scottish AI Alliance commissioned a best practice review of community engagement and participatory mechanisms in government strategy delivery. The Democratic Society carried out this review after an open tender and key findings and recommendations can be read in the blog accompanying the release of the report in March 2022.

It is with these recommendations and learnings in mind that we have issued this invitation to quote to co-design and co-create with the community:

• Deliverable 1: Design principles for engagement and participation in the delivery of Scotland’s AI Strategy’s vision for Scotland to become a leader in the development and use of trustworthy, ethical and inclusive AI

• Deliverable 2: A suite of engagement and participatory mechanisms based on the design principles developed

Deadline for proposals: Friday 5 August 2022
