# AI workability — Services professionnels pour le Bureau de projets

*Buyer: Assemblée nationale-Direction des… · Source: canadabuys · Closes: 17 Sep 2026 00:00 UTC*

**AI workability: 54%** (majority needs humans) · full RFP read · bid call: **MAYBE**

- Effort: 1,000 h total · 536 h AI · 464 h human (low confidence)

## Verdict

AI agents can handle roughly half of the effort (54%) — mostly document generation, data work, and reporting — but the project still needs substantial human facilitation, approvals, and legal/financial accountability. Proceed only after full RFP review and confirmation of credential/clearance requirements.

## Bid call

**MAYBE** — AI can handle about 54% of the effort, but the tender is too vague, the buyer/jurisdiction data is mismatched, and possible PM credential or AMP authorization requirements create risk. Bid only if the full RFP confirms no security clearance/bonding requirement and PM credentials can be met via a partner or qualified individual.

## Deliverables

| Deliverable | Mode | AI share | Hours |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Project management plans and governance documents | ai_assisted | 70% | 180 |
| Status reports, dashboards, and BI | ai_agent | 85% | 160 |
| Risk, issue, and action logs | ai_assisted | 75% | 120 |
| Meeting coordination and minutes | ai_assisted | 60% | 100 |
| Stakeholder communications and training material | ai_agent | 80% | 100 |
| Stakeholder workshops and facilitation | human_only | 10% | 160 |
| Contract, financial, and legal administration | human_only | 20% | 100 |
| Quality assurance, approvals, and professional sign-off | human_only | 10% | 80 |

## Risks

- **[high]** Insufficient scope detail in notice; actual RFP documents not provided. — *Request full RFP and clarification from buyer before bidding.*
- **[high]** Buyer/jurisdiction mismatch: Assemblée nationale vs MB, and LCOM is Quebec municipal law. — *Verify actual buyer, applicable law, and procurement portal before proceeding.*
- **[medium]** Possible PM credential requirement. — *Partner with a certified PM or hire a qualified contractor.*
- **[medium]** AMP authorization may be required if contract value is >= $1M. — *Confirm contract value; obtain AMP authorization or partner with an authorized firm.*
- **[medium]** Security clearance or onsite presence requirements are unknown. — *Confirm requirements; if facility security clearance is required, this is likely a no-go.*
- **[medium]** AI workability is below majority, so human effort is significant. — *Price and staff accordingly; do not over-automate client-facing work.*

## Human roles

- **Project director / lead** (32%): Accountable for delivery, client relationship, approvals, and professional judgment.
- **Stakeholder facilitator** (26%): Runs workshops, meetings, and on-site sessions that AI cannot attend.
- **Contract & finance administrator** (22%): Handles signatures, integrity declarations, invoicing, and legal/financial accountability.
- **QA / approval reviewer** (20%): Reviews AI-generated deliverables, ensures quality and compliance, provides sign-off.

## Why not more AI

- Cannot sign contracts or take legal/financial accountability.
- Cannot facilitate in-person workshops or build trusted client relationships.
- Cannot provide certified PM/professional credentials or professional sign-off.
- Cannot perform on-site presence or security-cleared work.
- Cannot independently interpret ambiguous or politically sensitive requirements.
- Cannot guarantee compliance with Quebec procurement law without human legal review.
