Doncaster Council requires a solution that
will deliver AI (Artificial Intelligence) across a number of
different channels including Voice over Telephony; the council
currently has an Amazon Alexa integration that was developed
in-house.
Initially we will require Telephony using a specific service area,
which is Waste and Recycling. However, depending on the success of
this first integration the council expects the provided solution
should be capable of both AI through Telephony and through the web
using channels such as a Chatbot through Web Chat and other such
channels. Also it should be capable of integrating other services
areas.
The council has a website that allows residents to self-serve this
can be found at https://www.doncaster.gov.uk/, the initial service
we wish to have delivered on AI Telephony is Waste and Recycling
the processes and information for this service can be found on the
website at
https://www.doncaster.gov.uk/services/bins-recycling-waste.
In line with the new Digital Recovery and Renewal Strategy the
council has procured a supplier to develop AI over Telephony for
Waste and Recycling. We need to draw down the budget to progress
the project.
