AKSHI / Tender 20 million euros for implementation of AI

The National Information Society Agency has opened a super-supertender worth 20 million euros to make public procurement with Artificial Intelligence. The government's initiative has taken "life" from THE AKSHI, which only implements "prime minister's statements".

The decision comes without previously having consulted with interest groups or previously doing a pilot project. But since the tendered value was given by the EU, the Agency has not wasted time as it has planned this expenditure in 2025.

How will artificial intelligence be done? Of course, so far there hasn't been any firm interested in implementing AI, while the Assembly's tenders or some other procedures with Intelligence have failed. All tenders were cancelled after "no firms attended".

Tender announcement by AKSHI to the Public Procurement Agency

According to the documents available by voxNews' editorial office, AKSHI has opened the tender with the subject of "modernization of the public procurement system (GOVTECH/2)". The value of the entire procedure is 1,979,583,333 ALL, or over 20 million euros. It is about an electronic intelligence system, while the initiative was not launched by AKSHI or any other institution, but Prime Minister Edi Rama himself.

In December 2024, Rama stated that in the fourth term, public procurements will be made 90% with AI. The "promise" of elections was taken alive by AKSHI, who "fulfills every wish". At the regional conference "Shaping the Future of GovTech", Rama said that this will be another achievement thanks to this opportunity that technology gives us.

"When we meet in the Balkans we make two great strains, who is the oldest and who is the first. The oldest are known to be us, but to be the first, that is not known. In the AI model we are building, I believe that in our fourth term we will be the first country to deliver 90% procurement with AI, and with uncomplaining levels. This will be another achievement thanks to this opportunity that technology gives us," Rama said.
