Tender-Ready: AI Assurance for WA Suppliers

"Describe your organisation's AI governance arrangements." If that tender question makes your bid team improvise, this half-day is for you.

Mining primes, government buyers and large corporates increasingly ask suppliers structured AI-assurance questions. Tender-Ready gives WA SMEs a truthful, reusable way to answer them built on what you actually do, documented properly, with no overclaiming.

Who this is for:

WA SMEs supplying mining primes, government and large buyers: procurement, risk and bid roles recommended

What you will do:

1. Buy the Outcome, Not the Label specify AI-related requirements in outcome terms, for your own procurement and your customers'.

2. Vendor Due Diligence and the Honest Scorecard score a vendor questionnaire honestly, including the "unknown" column, and learn why that column wins trust.

3. Acceptance Tests, Contracts and Exit draft acceptance criteria and an exit plan that protect you on both sides of the supply chain.

4. Your Tender Evidence Pack assemble a truthful evidence pack you can adapt tender by tender.
   

What you will leave with:

An outcome-based requirement specification, a vendor due-diligence scorecard, an acceptance and exit plan, and a truthful tender evidence pack.
