When to use it
Use when a non-corporate or prescribed corporate Commonwealth entity is building the list of procurement-connected policies for a procurement. The schedule does not decide that a policy applies.
Used for these tasks
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 add a policy only where the principal has copied it from the Finance list, and must not decide that a policy applies to the procurement.
AI may
- Add a row for a policy the principal has copied from the list Finance maintains
- Record the Indigenous Procurement Policy as a policy Appendix B names, without saying it applies
AI must not
- Must not add a policy from memory
- Must not decide that a policy indicates it is applicable to this procurement
- Must not describe the content of the Indigenous Procurement Policy
The lawyer checks
- The entity is a non-corporate Commonwealth entity or a prescribed corporate Commonwealth entity
- Each policy is taken from the current Finance list
- The principal decides whether the policy indicates that it applies
- The policy-owning entity's material is opened before a clause is included
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
