This presentation explores how an AI-powered contract comparison tool was built to streamline Statement of Work (SoW) reviews for low-value contracts. By using data analytics and preferred supplier rate cards, the tool helps procurement teams bypass legal review for standard cases, cutting review time from two days to a few hours. The presentation will walk us through the creation of the tool using LLMs, how it leverages existing master agreements and rate cards to streamline contract decisions, and what impact this has on scaling contractor-based services. In this session you will learn:

How to identify automation opportunities within SoW and contract review processes?
How to build a functional AI tool using LLMs and existing procurement data?
How to ensure compliance while speeding up time-to-contract for professional services?
