Details

This Request for Services (the RFS) is an invitation by the Government of Saskatchewan (GOS) to prospective Proponents to provide Submissions for the provision of AI (Artificial Intelligence) Strategy and Management Consulting, as further described in the RFS Particulars. This RFS seeks one or more qualified service providers to deliver the AI Strategy and Management Consulting engagement for GOS's newly established AI Office (AIO) within the Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement (SBP), Information Technology Division (ITD). Through this engagement, GOS expects to obtain an endorsed enterprise AI governance foundation, a recommended AI operating model, a prioritized use-case and data-readiness baseline, a trained initial cohort of staff, and the scoping required for future-phase AI procurements — replacing today's fragmented, ministry-by-ministry AI adoption with a coordinated enterprise approach.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this it & telecom opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
