Paulina Skórzewska, in an article published on rynekinfrastruktury.pl, discusses the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential application in the public procurement process.
Applying AI in public procurement can contribute to more efficient, transparent, and controlled spending of public funds. Tools based on generative AI will find application at every stage of the proceedings.
Preparation of proceedings
- Needs and requirements analysis: AI can help determine the actual needs of the procurer, analyze risks, and recommend action strategies.
- Procurement value estimation: AI can analyze historical and market data, predict price and risk changes, and determine the average value of similar contracts.
Document generation
- Automatic document creation: Based on formulas and inputs, AI can generate specifications, bid forms, calls to contractors, etc.
- Suggesting solutions: Analyzing previous tenders allows AI to suggest best practices and decisions in terms of bid evaluation criteria, conditions of participation, procedures, etc.
Analysis of bids and documents
- Anomaly detection: AI can search documents for specific phrases, verify compliance with requirements, and identify deficiencies and nonconformities.
- Bid comparison: AI can automatically compare bids by price and terms, identify bids with an abnormally low price, award scores, and create rankings.
Monitoring and archiving
- Automatic archiving: AI can automatically archive tender documentation after the procedure is completed.
- Market monitoring: AI can support in market analysis, verification of contractors, monitoring of purchasing processes, identification of irregularities.
AI has the potential to significantly improve procurement processes, but fully realizing its potential depends on technological advances, the availability of relevant data, finances and regulations.
