The Moderation Assistant


The Moderation Assistant is an AI-powered quality assurance tool designed to help procurement professionals review draft reasons for award and standstill feedback before they are shared with suppliers. It supports the production of clear, balanced, and evidence-based feedback by identifying potential issues with wording, such as ambiguity, inconsistency, subjectivity, or comments that could increase procurement risk.

Importantly, the tool does not evaluate bids, recommend scores, influence procurement decisions, or create new evidence. It simply reviews the content provided and highlights areas that may benefit from further consideration. Procurement professionals remain fully responsible for all decisions, evaluations, and communications.

By providing an additional layer of quality assurance, the Moderation Assistant helps organisations improve transparency, consistency, and confidence in supplier feedback while supporting good procurement governance and reducing the risk of challenge.

Key benefits:

  • Reviews supplier feedback for clarity, neutrality, and consistency.
  • Highlights potentially ambiguous, subjective, or advisory language.
  • Supports stronger procurement governance and defensibility.
  • Acts as a quality assurance tool, not a decision-making tool.
  • Keeps procurement professionals firmly in control of all outcomes.
