## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Government Procurement & Tendering](https://ailawframework.com/practice/government-procurement-and-tendering.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | From the executed contract, any amendments and the procurement file, populate the entity’s validated reporting template: the contract value, dates, procurement method, any limited tender condition or exemption relied on, confidentiality flags, and the publishing due date calculated from the date of execution; flag any amendment that crosses a reporting threshold. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer or procurement adviser confirms the contract was entered into on the date used, that the value and method are right, that any confidentiality flag matches a determination actually made, and that the record is published before the deadline. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

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

- What the AI does: From the executed contract, any amendments and the procurement file, populate the entity’s validated reporting template: the contract value, dates, procurement method, any limited tender condition or exemption relied on, confidentiality flags, and the publishing due date calculated from the date of execution; flag any amendment that crosses a reporting threshold.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer or procurement adviser confirms the contract was entered into on the date used, that the value and method are right, that any confidentiality flag matches a determination actually made, and that the record is published before the deadline.
- 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 which rules version and regime apply to this procurement before the template is used.
2. Check each field against the executed contract, not the evaluation report or a draft.
3. Confirm any confidentiality flag matches a recorded determination.
4. Confirm the publishing deadline independently from the execution date.

## 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.
