In 2020 the Government set out how procurement would transform post-EU exit through a [Greenpaper][0] as well as procurement policies focussed on [Social Value][1] assessments and [Net Zero][2] plans for large contracts.The combination of these policy shifts is driving wholesale change in how Government and the Private Sector work together. This is going to have a material impact on businesses and how they work with Government. In particular, the change in regulation _create a more complex environment for Small and Medium Enterprises to compete on._Furthermore, [Government supply chains][3] are under significant pressure caused by _global macro-events_ of COVID19 the Ukraine war and a broader economic downturn. How to deliver cost effective public services is being challenged and in these cycles it makes price a greater focus for buyers and intrinsically drives awards business away from SMEs. Furthermore, _the economic downturn creates greater financial risks on SMEs_.Cimple has been working across the UK Government providing a marketplace solution that supports SMEs accessing Government (and wider Enterprise) opportunities helping them to optimise sales workflows.We believe that the power of data, behavioural science and leading AI/ML can be used to support SMEs accessing and bidding on contracts not just in the Public Sector but more broadly. Furthermore, this AI/ML deployment can be used to improve productivity within SMEs ([IMF 2021][4]) [costing the UK SMEs up to £57bn a yea][5]r (Natwest 2018).The aim of the project is to undertake a research and feasibility project on:* How AI/ML models deployed will be trusted by Government, SMEs and with the latter help to optimise their sales operations (and subsequently growth).* Bring together a leading consortium of academics and specialists to take forward research recommendations developing data architectures, AI/ML models, specifications and deployment models.Through this project, Cimple will help to enable economic growth in SMEs whilst accelerating the adoption of trustworthy AI in a critical business process where value is blocked or locked.[0]: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/green-paper-transforming-public-procurement[1]: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0620-taking-account-of-social-value-in-the-award-of-central-government-contracts[2]: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0621-taking-account-of-carbon-reduction-plans-in-the-procurement-of-major-government-contracts[3]: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9350/[4]: https://www.imf.org/en/News/Seminars/Conferences/2021/09/29/-/media/E683A100682B482E9CF77CA50515CADB.ashx[5]: https://www.natwestgroup.com/news-and-insights/feature-content/our-updates/2011-2020/natwest-research-shows-effect-of-productivity-gap.html

在2020年，政府规定采购将如何通过[绿色论文] [0]以及专注于[社会价值] [1]评估的采购政策以及[net net net net net] [2]计划进行大规模合同的计划。这将对企业以及他们如何与政府合作产生重大影响。特别是，监管的变化_为中小型企业竞争一个更复杂的环境。如何提供具有成本效益的公共服务正在受到挑战，在这些周期中，价格使买家和本质上的奖励奖励业务更加重点。此外，_经济低迷对SMES _.CIMPLE造成了更大的财务风险。Cimple一直在整个英国政府提供市场解决方案，该解决方案支持支持中小企业（和更广泛的企业）机会，帮助他们优化销售工作流程。我们相信数据，行为科学和领先的AI/ML可以支持SMES的范围更多，而不仅仅是公众范围，因此不仅可以签订合同，而且还可以互相签订。此外，这种AI/ML部署可用于提高中小型企业内的生产率（[IMF 2021] [4]）[代价高达570亿英镑的A YEA] R（NATWEST 2018）（NATWEST 2018）。该项目的目的是在项目中进行研究和可行的项目：*如何启动AI/ML的行动，以帮助他们的销售方式，并在其雇用的范围内，并将其付诸实践。随后成长）。 https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/green-paper-transforming-public-procurement [1]： https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0620-taking-account-count-social-cocial-n-the-ware-in-the-the-ward-ward-ward-ward-ward-ward-ward-ward-connarment contranment contracts [2]： https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/procurement-policy-note-0621-taking-account-carbon-redact-carbon-redact-parans-carbon-plans-in-the-plans-in-the-procurement-in-the-procurement-of-Major-Gorcornment-Cartracts [3]：3]：3]：3]： https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9350/ [4]： https://www.imf.org/en/news/seminars/conferences/2021/09/29/-/media/e683a100682b482b482e9cf77ga505151515cadb.ashx [5]： https://www.natwestgroup.com/news-and-insights/feature-content/our-ul-updates/2011-2020/natwest-research-shows-shows-shows-shows-effect-effect-of-productivity-gap.html
