Selecting AI Providers and Comparing Their Services
Inquiry This course is not yet bookable.
Use the supplied dossier to assess responses from two fictional providers against criteria set in advance, recording errors and omissions. A second set of responses shows what needs reassessment after a model change. Also examine data flows, subcontractors and switching options. Select a service or identify what information is still missing.
Take away your requirements catalogue and completed provider assessment pack. Responses are supplied in the course; no provider APIs are called. You can develop the questions and requirements further for your own procurement.
What you will work on
- Set requirements and test questions for an AI use case
- Compare supplied provider responses with reference answers using the same criteria
- Bring performance, data flows and switching options together in a selection decision
- Handle a model or contract change in the supplier case
Who it is for

Your result
Take away a requirements catalogue and completed provider assessment. They record test cases, data flows and switching requirements that you can develop further for procurement.
Prerequisites
Basic procurement or IT management knowledge and an AI use case. For organisational relevance, access to requirement information that can be shared is sufficient; a sample supplier dossier allows participation without confidential offers.
Format and approach
Planned: 5–6 hours of self-study with a supplier dossier, supplied case responses, reference answers and explanatory self-checks.
