A defence AI Centre serves as an accelerator of concepts to operationalize and scale across defence, with key pillars focusing on robotics, digital, and responsible AI. AI accelerators for defence were endorsed as best practice by the US National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence in its final report in 2021.To reach its AI goals, Canada needs a Defence AI Centre of its own in order to ensure interoperability with key allies and to ensure capabilities keep pace with allies and adversaries alike.for the services of:one (1) Intermediate Business Consultant and one (1) Junior Business Consultant.Level of Security Requirement:Company Minimum Security Level Required: ReliabilityResource Minimum Security Level Required: ReliabilityProposed period of contract:The proposed period of contract shall be from 27 February 2023 to 120 days afterEstimated Level of Effort:The estimated level of effort of the contract will be for 120 daysFile Number: W6952-23-090Contracting Authority: PehSan ChuahE-Mail: P••••••••@••••••.••.caNOTE: The Task and Solutions Professional Services (TSPS) Method of Supply is subject to quarterly refresh cycles.
