Procurement plan
The appropriate funding mechanism for (and amount of) our foundational investments is decided by the FIG executive and/or the individual funder who takes on the priority. The Wellcome Trust has provisionally agreed to fund the living inventory of AI-enabled digital evidence-synthesis tools (AI-DESTs) and is currently exploring the use of a procurement process.
Details of the procurement process will be formally published on the Wellcome Trust website. However, we will provide an update about the process on this webpage and in our newsletter. We anticipate that this will happen in July or August 2026.
