Check the signed probity and conflict declarations against the procurement papers
Key facts
- Human involvement

- How AI is used
- Compare the returned declarations against the panel membership list, the tenderer and subcontractor lists and the register, and list who has not declared and which interests appear in the papers but not in any declaration. Write nothing into any declaration and draft no declaration text or wording: a declaration records the declarant's own knowledge in the declarant's own words.
- What the lawyer must review
- Take any further declaration directly from the person concerned, decide what each undisclosed interest means for the integrity of the process, and decide whether a panel member must stand aside or an evaluation step must be redone.
