## 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

- [Build the procurement-connected policy and mandated-clause schedule](https://ailawframework.com/practice/government-procurement-and-tendering/build-the-procurement-connected-policy-and-mandated-clause-schedule.md)

## 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
