Request for Information - AI Tourism Prototype Builder Programme

The Tourism Enhancement Fund under the Government of Jamaica is inviting potential bidders to provide information for the development and delivery of an AI-driven prototype training programme aimed at advancing tourism innovation. The initiative, identified by solicitation number 1707/527, seeks to equip participants with the skills to design, evaluate, and refine digital tourism prototypes using artificial intelligence tools. Key activities include collaborating with the project team to define the programme’s scope and objectives, creating targeted training materials on digital prototyping, design principles, and AI prompting techniques, and delivering both group and individualized sessions to guide participants through the selection and development of appropriate prototypes. The programme emphasizes hands-on practical exercises using AI-enabled platforms tailored to each participant’s concept, supplemented by ongoing mentorship and feedback to support finalization of their prototypes. Bidders are required to submit a comprehensive final report detailing all activities undertaken, measurable outcomes achieved by participants, and actionable recommendations for future iterations of the programme. The request for information is open under a public solicitation with a submission deadline of August 11, 2026, and is administered through the Jamaica Economic Procurement Portal. While no specific set-aside or NAICS code has been designated, the programme is open to qualified entities capable of delivering advanced AI and digital innovation training in a structured, results-oriented manner. The initiative is fully aligned with Jamaica’s broader goals of digitizing its tourism sector through innovation and capacity building, with all training activities expected to be conducted in alignment with the country’s strategic priorities.
