When to use it
Use before a relevant entity approaches one or more suppliers without an open approach to market, or when filing the written report for a contract awarded that way. The official selects the paragraph 10.3 condition or the Appendix A exemption.
Used for these tasks
- Build the limited tender or exemption justification record
- Check an approach to market against the rules that apply
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may list the paragraph 10.3 conditions and copy values from the procurement file. It must not choose the condition or write the justification.
AI may
- Copy the estimated value, including options and extensions, from the procurement file into the record
- List which paragraph 10.3 conditions and Appendix A items are still blank
- Calculate whether the estimate sits at or above the threshold in paragraph 9.7
AI must not
- Must not select a paragraph 10.3 condition or an Appendix A exemption
- Must not draft the statement of circumstances or the value-for-money record required by paragraph 10.5
- Must not describe an approach to one supplier as urgent, exclusive or without reasonable alternative
The lawyer checks
- Threshold and Appendix A position decided before the method is chosen
- Paragraph 10.5 report filed in the records system when Division 2 applies
- Paragraph 9.11 AusTender report identifies the condition or exemption actually used
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
