Leveraging AI to Transform the Ex-Ante Audits of Government Procurement Contracts
In the government procurement process, multiple bodies play a role in ensuring compliance and accountability before contracts are finalized.

They ensure that contracts align with legal requirements, financial thresholds, and tender specifications before they are signed. They often maintain a centralized contracts database, which holds records of procurement agreements from all government entities.
