Procuring AI products and services is more risky than procuring traditional software, because the questions are different: what data is the model trained on, what data am I providing for inference, what happens to my prompts and outputs, what are the model's known limitations, and who is responsible if it fails.
What the pack provides for AI buyers
The pack provides the documents to ask the right questions and to capture the answers contractually: a procurement questionnaire (the due diligence step), and a contractual addendum that addresses the AI-specific risks (training data, prompt and output use, model performance, security, regulatory compliance).
Used together, they take an AI procurement from 'we trust the supplier' to 'the supplier has answered the questions and is contractually bound to its answers'.
Suitable for businesses procuring AI products or services, including SaaS-delivered AI tools.

How I will approach your matter
Once you have instructed me, I will arrange a consultation to understand your AI procurement requirements before drafting. The questionnaire and the contractual addendum are designed to be used together. The questionnaire surfaces the answers, the addendum binds the supplier to them.
