# AI workability — Gestion de projets en infrastructures technologiques et en…

*Buyer: Régie de l'assurance maladie du… · Source: canadabuys · Closes: 16 Sep 2026 00:00 UTC*

**AI workability: 53%** (majority needs humans) · full RFP read · bid call: **MAYBE**

- Effort: 2,000 h total · 1,060 h AI · 940 h human (low confidence)

## Verdict

AI agents can handle roughly half of the effort, mainly documentation, data work, reporting, and drafting; the other half requires human project management, client-facing facilitation, compliance, and accountability.

## Bid call

**MAYBE** — The project fits the shop's AI-agent-first model for IT infrastructure project management, but the notice is too thin to confirm scope, security clearance, evaluation criteria, or contract value. Public-sector compliance requirements such as AMP authorization and security clearance may be blockers for a small shop. Proceed only if full documents confirm no insurmountable clearance/bonding requirements and the bid can be positioned around AI-assisted delivery with a strong human PM.

## Risks

- **[high]** Thin or truncated tender documents prevent accurate scope definition. — *Request full SEAO documents and clarify scope before bidding.*
- **[high]** Security clearance may be required by the public-sector buyer. — *Confirm clearance requirements early; partner with a cleared firm if needed.*
- **[high]** AMP authorization / integrity compliance could block contract award. — *Apply for AMP authorization early or confirm contract value is below threshold.*
- **[medium]** No TBIPS/SBIPS standing offer limits access to some public-sector streams. — *Leverage open competitive process and differentiate with AI-agent delivery model.*
- **[medium]** On-site presence and client workshops require human travel and availability. — *Plan for human PM travel and include costs in the bid.*
- **[medium]** AI over-reliance could produce plausible but incorrect project artifacts. — *Keep human PM accountable for all decisions; AI outputs are reviewed.*
- **[medium]** LCOM legal complexity increases compliance burden. — *Engage a legal/compliance advisor familiar with LCOM.*

## Human roles

- **Project manager / client liaison** (20%): Accountable for delivery, stakeholder trust, and decisions.
- **Workshop facilitator / on-site representative** (10%): In-person facilitation and relationship building cannot be done by AI.
- **Contract signatory / legal accountability** (5%): Only humans can sign contracts and take legal responsibility.
- **Compliance / security officer** (5%): AMP/RENA/security clearance and integrity declarations require human identity.
- **Technical lead / solution architect** (10%): Approves technical designs and infrastructure decisions.
- **Procurement / financial administrator** (5%): Manages contracts, invoices, and financial controls.

## Why not more AI

- Cannot sign contracts or assume legal/financial liability.
- Cannot hold security clearance or AMP authorization.
- Cannot facilitate in-person workshops or build client relationships.
- Cannot perform physical installation or on-site infrastructure work.
- Cannot make final decisions on scope, budget, or change requests.
- May produce plausible but incorrect outputs without human validation.

## Gaps in source documents

- Full tender documents were not provided; notice text is truncated.
- No evaluation grid, contract duration, or contract value is stated.
- No security clearance or on-site presence requirements are stated.
- No detailed scope of the infrastructure technologies involved.
- Document facts focus on LCOM legal framework rather than project-specific requirements.
- No information on existing systems, team composition, or data environment.

## Assumptions

- Total effort assumed at 2,000 hours (~1 FTE for 12 months) because no value or duration was disclosed.
- Project is primarily IT infrastructure project management, not hands-on infrastructure implementation.
- No security clearance is required unless stated in full tender documents.
- If contract value is $1M or more for services, AMP authorization is required and is not currently held.
- AI agents have access to client-approved data and tools.
- A human PM is available for workshops and on-site presence.
- Bilingual deliverables (FR/EN) are required.
