Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

We are a non-profit research organisation in Germany building an AI assistant that helps people with limited German understand official letters and complete government forms. The project is publicly funded by the German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and runs until mid 2027. For this contract we need the data foundation: a canonical data schema covering the fields of German administrative forms, generators that produce synthetic records against that schema, and the resulting datasets. No real personal data is involved at any point, everything is synthetic by design. DELIVERABLES, FOUR MILESTONES 30 Sep 2026: data schema, generation concept, working prototype, pilot dataset 31 Oct 2026: datasets for a first group of forms in all target languages 30 Nov 2026: two further forms plus a validation dataset 31 Dec 2026: consolidation, documentation, handover Scope per milestone is agreed with us at the start of each period, so there is room to adapt as the project learns. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR Experience turning form structures into data models, comfort with synthetic data generation, and ideally exposure to multilingual datasets. Arabic, Ukrainian, Turkish, Russian or Farsi are relevant target languages. PRICING AND DEADLINE We have deliberately set no budget for this contract. Please quote your own fixed price for the full scope, in EUR. Payment follows acceptance of each milestone. Deadline for proposals: 12 August 2026, 12:00 CEST. How we will decide: price 40 percent, experience with structured extraction from forms or PDFs 20 percent, experience with multilingual datasets 20 percent, availability across all four milestones 20 percent. PLEASE ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR PROPOSAL 1. Describe one project where you extracted structured data from forms or PDFs. What was the input, what was the output? 2. Have you worked with multilingual datasets? Which languages, and what was your role? 3. Can you commit to four deliverables between now and 31 December 2026? 4. What is your fixed price for the full scope described? TERMS Fixed price contract under German law, payment per accepted milestone, all results transfer to us. The work will later be published under an open source licence.
