## 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 | Work with the lawyer to build the schedule: list each claimed item with the supplier's stated reason and the clause or schedule it sits in, set it against each limb of the confidentiality test, and help draft the determination wording under the lawyer's direction. Do not decide any limb and do not record a determination the lawyer has not made. |
| What the lawyer must review | Apply the confidentiality test to each item and decide what is genuinely confidential, check the executed contract records only what was determined, and confirm what must be notified to the supplier before any later disclosure and what must appear in the published listing. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: Work with the lawyer to build the schedule: list each claimed item with the supplier's stated reason and the clause or schedule it sits in, set it against each limb of the confidentiality test, and help draft the determination wording under the lawyer's direction. Do not decide any limb and do not record a determination the lawyer has not made.
- What the lawyer does: Apply the confidentiality test to each item and decide what is genuinely confidential, check the executed contract records only what was determined, and confirm what must be notified to the supplier before any later disclosure and what must appear in the published listing.
- 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. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Apply the confidentiality test to each item and decide what is genuinely confidential, check the executed contract records only what was determined, and confirm what must be notified to the supplier before any later disclosure and what must appear in the published listing.
3. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## 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.
