## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Government Procurement & Tendering](https://ailawframework.com/practice/government-procurement-and-tendering.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the approach and the conditions, copy any limit that turns on a supplier's size, foreign affiliation or ownership, location, or the origin of the goods or services. Do not decide that the limit is unlawful. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether paragraph 10.2 is breached. It says that, subject to the Commonwealth Procurement Rules, potential suppliers must not be discriminated against because of their size, degree of foreign affiliation or ownership, location, or the origin of their goods and services. Because the paragraph is subject to the rules, an invitation limit that another paragraph requires is not removed by this one. The lawyer applies those other paragraphs first, then decides whether anything that remains is discrimination of the kind paragraph 10.2 names. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

The responsible lawyer checks each element against the source named for it.

- What the AI does: From the approach and the conditions, copy any limit that turns on a supplier's size, foreign affiliation or ownership, location, or the origin of the goods or services. Do not decide that the limit is unlawful.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether paragraph 10.2 is breached. It says that, subject to the Commonwealth Procurement Rules, potential suppliers must not be discriminated against because of their size, degree of foreign affiliation or ownership, location, or the origin of their goods and services. Because the paragraph is subject to the rules, an invitation limit that another paragraph requires is not removed by this one. The lawyer applies those other paragraphs first, then decides whether anything that remains is discrimination of the kind paragraph 10.2 names.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court or regulator classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Copy the limit in the documents' own words. Do not recast a delivery requirement as a location ban.
2. Do not delete an invitation rule that another paragraph requires. Paragraph 10.2 is subject to the rules.
3. The lawyer decides. Do not mark the approach as discriminatory.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
