Assess a proposed variation, extension or exercise of option against the original procurement
Key facts
- Human involvement
- GreenLawyer review
- How AI is used
- Extract the original scope, term, options, price basis and reported contract value from the executed contract and the contract notice, set the proposed change against them line by line, and draft the comparison table and the list of reporting triggers the change turns on. Do not conclude that the change is within scope or that no new procurement is required.
- What the lawyer must review
- Decide whether the change is within the scope and options actually contracted for or is a new procurement requiring its own process and record, check the extracted figures against the executed contract rather than the summary, and confirm the reporting entries and their deadlines.
