## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the deed of standing offer and the business area’s requirement, draft the work order or official order on the panel’s validated template: services, deliverables, price from the panel rates, term, and the clauses the deed requires, and note the original procurement method for reporting.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the requirement is within the panel’s scope, that the order uses the deed’s pricing and terms without departure, that the approach to suppliers met any rule that applies (multiple suppliers, SME-first panels), and that the commitment approval is in place.
- 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 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. Check the requirement against the panel’s scope and category.
2. Check the price against the deed rates.
3. Confirm the supplier approach met any panel rule and the commitment approval is recorded.

## 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.
