# Intelligent Procurement Scheduling System for Items Involving Public Procurement
## 1 Introduction  
Artificial Intelligence can play a significant role in optimizing and enhancing various aspects of public procurement policy. The use of artificial intelligence can automate routine and repetitive tasks, such as document verification, data entry and basic contract analysis [1]. This leads to faster processing times and reduces the risk of errors. Artificial intelligence software can assist vendors and procurement officers in navigating the procurement process, answering common queries and providing guidance on documentation requirements. Artificial intelligence algorithms can analyze historical procurement data to predict future trends, demand patterns and potential risks. This assists in making informed decisions regarding procurement strategies and supplier selection [2]. In a similar manner, artificial intelligence algorithms can assess and identify potential risks associated with suppliers, contracts and market conditions, helping procurement officers to mitigate risks effectively. The use of artificial intelligence in public procurement can help to evaluate and score suppliers based on various factors, including performance history, financial stability and compliance. This ensures that procurement decisions are based on objective and data-driven assessments. These techniques can continuously monitor and analyze the market to identify new and innovative suppliers, promoting competition and diversity in the supplier pool. Yet another advantage of using artificial intelligence algorithms in public procurement is that it can analyze market trends and historical data to predict future price fluctuations, helping organizations make cost-effective procurement decisions [3]. Also, artificial intelligence techniques can monitor expenses in real-time, ensuring compliance with budget constraints and identifying potential cost-saving opportunities. By integratingartificial intelligence with block-chain, public organizations can enhance transparency in the procurement process by providing an immutable and transparent record of transactions. This helps in reducing fraud and ensuring compliance with regulations. Artificial intelligence techniques can automatically check procurement documents for compliance with legal and regulatory requirements [4], reducing the risk of errors and ensuring adherence to policies, and it can enhance cybersecurity measures by identifying and preventing potential cyber threats, ensuring the security of sensitive procurement data. Implementing artificial intelligence in public procurement policies requires careful consideration of ethical, legal and privacy implications. Additionally, providing adequate training to procurement professionals and stakeholders is essential for the successful integration and utilization of artificial intelligence algorithm technologies [5]. The main theme of this paper is about the implementation of artificial intelligence in public procurement and providing deep insight to public procurement officers to design such systems for sustainable development. This paper centers on the procurement process of supply chain management undertaken by a reputed steam generator manufacturing company through a public tendering system. The public tendering process serves as a cornerstone of transparency, fairness and accountability in public procurement across the globe. It represents a systematic and regulated approach that public entities, such as government agencies and public organizations, use to procure goods, services or construction projects from external suppliers. This process ensures that taxpayers' funds are allocated efficiently and responsibly, upholding the principles of competition, integrity and value for money. The significance of the public tendering process lies not only in its fiscal responsibility but also in its role in promoting economic development, fostering innovation and providing equal opportunities to a wide range of businesses, from small enterprises to large corporations.
