AI4PP-Ghent: Context-Aware AI Drafting Assistance for Public Procurement
AI4PP-Ghent
Drafting procurement specifications remains a slow, heavily manual, and resource-intensive task. Relying on static templates and manual copy-pasting often leads to frequent document inconsistencies and critical legal risks. These inefficiencies consume up to half of a public buyer’s working time , delaying essential public services and projects. Current market solutions remain highly underdeveloped , leaving a critical gap for public authorities facing pressure to do more with fewer resources.

Complear
Complear is a Portugal-based AI-native regulatory compliance infrastructure company, operating across MedTech, Defence, Cybersecurity and Autonomous Systems. Through its platform, Complear OS, the company enables organizations in heavily regulated industries to replace manual, retroactive documentation with continuous, real-time verification and machine-interpretable compliance logic. The AI4PP-Ghent pilot extends this proven infrastructure into public procurement for the first time.
Solution
Complear is piloting AI4PP, a generative AI-driven specification support tool designed specifically for public procurement. The solution partially automates and accelerates the drafting process by generating legally compliant, consistent technical specifications and award criteria.
Built with an advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework, AI4PP uses a searchable, versioned knowledge store trained on anonymized historical tenders and City-approved templates. Outputs are fully traceable to source documents with confidence indicators, minimizing AI hallucinations and ensuring compliance with Belgian, EU, and municipal procurement regulations.
The system utilizes an intuitive user interface featuring context-aware drafting and rapid interactive clause-level updates. By embedding mandatory human-in-the-loop legal review and final approval gates, AI4PP safeguards institutional trust while cutting the time to produce a first usable draft.
