DBW has undertaken preliminary exploratory work to create prototype AIâenabled workflows for two highâpriority use cases:Sanction Paper ProductionLegal Work ProcessingThis initial discovery and prototyping took place during the previous year and established a foundation for further development. To move from prototype to a fully operational, safe, and repeatable AIâaugmented workflow, specialist technical support is required.The provider being considered for direct award has already undertaken the initial prototyping work. They therefore hold unique understanding of DBWâs operational context, data structures, previous iterations, and riskâcontrol expectations.Reârunning a competitive process would introduce unnecessary delay, duplication of effort, increased cost, and operational risk, given the requirement to build directly on the previous prototyping phase.
