BUNDLE
NexAI Federal Mandate Sprint.
Packaged response to the UAE federal Agentic AI Mandate — readiness, platform implementation, citizen developer wave-1, and managed operations transition in a single fixed-fee 90-day engagement.
SECTION 01
Bundle overview
NexAI Federal Mandate Sprint is NexITC's packaged response to the UAE federal Agentic AI Mandate issued in April 2026, which requires 50% of federal services to run on agentic AI within two years. The sprint compresses readiness assessment, platform implementation, citizen developer enablement, and managed operations into a 90-day fixed-fee engagement targeted at federal ministries and federal-adjacent entities that must demonstrate measurable agentic progress inside the year-one window of the mandate. The bundle delivers one production agent in 90 days, certifies wave-1 citizen developers (25 minimum), and transitions to managed operations on day 91 so the agent estate is operationally supported from go-live.
Ideal for
Federal ministries and agencies subject to the Agentic AI Mandate, federal-adjacent entities (ADQ-portfolio, ICV-mandated suppliers), and large emirate-level government bodies that need a single accountable engagement covering readiness, build, enablement, and operations.
Federal entities can source each component separately. The bundle exists because sourcing them together — with the same practice, in a sequenced engagement where readiness findings directly inform implementation — reduces total time-to-Mandate-compliance and avoids the handoff gaps that emerge when readiness, build, and operations are executed by disconnected teams.
SECTION 02
Bundle composition
A11 · Agentic AI Readiness & Use-Case Discovery (weeks 1–3)
Readiness scorecard, use-case shortlist, and signed pilot charters — with reasoning trail per proceed / redesign / recommend-against classification.
A13 · CAIO-in-a-Box™ (optional, weeks 1–3)
Substitutes for or augments the A11 component where the entity has a newly appointed Chief AI Officer — adding the governance starter pack, staff training curriculum, and mandate progress-reporting cadence.
B20 · No-Code Agent Platform Implementation (weeks 4–11)
Platform foundation, governance overlay, and first production agent build in a UAE sovereign-appropriate posture.
B22 · Citizen Developer Programme — wave-1 (weeks 6–12, parallel)
25 citizen developers certified under a governed curriculum, running in parallel with the platform build so enablement lands with the platform rather than after it.
C9 · Managed Agent Operations (day 91 onward)
Continuous observability, drift management, audit logging, and governance reporting on a 12-month minimum subscription.
Combined bundle deliverables
- Sequenced engagement (readiness → build → enablement → operations) with defined handoffs at each gate
- Same Practice Lead across all component streams for continuity
- Consolidated Mandate-alignment evidence pack combining readiness findings, deployment evidence, and certification records
- Single statement of work with one point of accountability
SECTION 03
Sequenced 90-day timeline
Weeks 1–3: readiness. A11 readiness scorecard, use-case shortlist, signed pilot charters — or A13 CAIO-in-a-Box where a Chief AI Officer has already been appointed.
Weeks 4–11: platform implementation. B20 platform foundation, governance overlay, and first production agent build against the charter-selected use case.
Weeks 6–12 (parallel): citizen developer wave-1. B22 certifies 25 citizen developers under governed curriculum while the platform is being built.
Day 90: production and evidence. One production agent live under governance, mandate-alignment evidence pack accepted, final executive readout delivered.
Day 91 onward: managed operations. C9 assumes observability, drift management, audit logging, and governance reporting under named SLAs.
The sequenced structure matters. Implementation without prior readiness produces a platform that isn't defensibly anchored to charter reasoning — a compliance gap under Mandate reporting scrutiny. Readiness without implementation stops at charter without operational proof — a delivery gap against the Mandate deadline.
SECTION 04
Outcomes & acceptance criteria
- One production agent live and operating under governance by day 90
- 25 minimum certified citizen developers from wave-1 (target: 85% pass rate)
- Mandate-alignment evidence pack completed and accepted by client legal / compliance
- Managed operations transition signed off on day 91 with named SLAs
- Monthly executive readout, plus final readout on day 90
SECTION 05
Commercial logic
The sprint is priced at the sum of its component SKUs (A11 or A13 + B20 + B22 + the first three months of C9), keeping itemized procurement comparisons clean. A 15–20% premium applies only to the accelerated-timeline option, which adds guaranteed 90-day delivery with contractual acceptance dates, priority staffing, and a single point of accountability. Pricing remains under NexITC's standard procurement-clean structure with a single statement of work.
The bundle is positioned as the fastest, lowest-risk procurement path for federal entities under year-one pressure from the Agentic AI Mandate; entities outside that pressure window may prefer to procure the underlying SKUs individually.
Bundle commercial framework:
- Fixed-fee milestone-based for the readiness stream (A11 or A13, per standard commercial)
- Fixed-fee milestone-based for the B20 implementation and B22 enablement streams
- C9 managed operations on a 12-month minimum subscription from day 91
- Accelerated-timeline premium of 15–20% applies only where contractual 90-day acceptance dates are required
- Change orders authorised where scope changes during any stream

SECTION 06
Frequently asked questions
Can we procure A11 first and decide on the rest later?
Yes. A11 is a standalone engagement — many federal entities engage A11 first to produce the charter, then evaluate the implementation, enablement, and operations components informed by charter findings. The bundle exists for entities that want a sequenced engagement with the same Practice Lead for continuity; it is not the only pathway.
When does A13 replace A11 rather than sit alongside it?
Where a Chief AI Officer has already been appointed, A13 CAIO-in-a-Box substitutes for A11 and adds the governance starter pack, staff training curriculum, and mandate progress-reporting cadence. Where the entity wants both the readiness scorecard and CAIO enablement, A13 augments A11 in the same weeks 1–3 window. Pricing follows whichever readiness component is scoped.
What if the readiness charter recommends against agentic AI for services we assumed would proceed?
The charter is honest. If findings recommend against specific services proceeding, those services are excluded from B20 implementation scope. Bundle commercial terms adjust accordingly at charter handoff. Recommend-against is a legitimate charter outcome — see A5 AI Use-Case Due Diligence for the underlying discipline.
How does the bundle differ from sourcing the five SKUs from different providers?
Two operational efficiencies: (1) the same Practice Lead across all streams enables direct charter-to-implementation-to-operations continuity without documentation-based handoff gaps; (2) a consolidated Mandate-alignment evidence pack combining readiness findings, deployment evidence, and certification records in a single defensible pack. Federal entities requiring separated procurement (multi-vendor governance) can still source each SKU independently.
What's the platform selection process during the B20 stream?
B20 platform selection is vendor-neutral, informed by charter requirements. NexITC discloses any vendor commercial relationships at platform evaluation kickoff. Selection criteria include fit against charter requirements, UAE sovereign deployment posture, operational continuity architecture, and commercial terms.
Can we combine this bundle with other NexITC engagements?
Yes. C9 Managed Agent Operations is already inside the bundle from day 91. C6 ComplianceOps UAE (mandate reporting cadence) and C8 MLOpsRun (model-layer operations) are separate ongoing engagements typically procured after the sprint completes.
