Gyeonggi Province Audit Committee develops algorithm-based contract review system

The Gyeonggi Provincial Audit Committee said Thursday it has built an integrated workspace for contract review support using "vibe coding," a method that leverages generative artificial intelligence, entirely through internal staff capabilities without external contractors or additional budget.

Contract review is a system that examines the appropriateness of estimated prices and design change amounts in publicly procured projects. Until now, contract review staff had to manually examine extensive specification documents to verify the appropriateness of pricing standards and statutory expense rates for construction, services and goods.

The integrated workspace developed by the Gyeonggi Provincial Audit Committee is a contract review system that applies data-based algorithms to this process. It automatically detects errors in complex data and identifies outliers through comparable unit price analysis. Based on review results, the system automatically generates essential administrative documents such as reports and consultation language for contracting agencies. It also provides instant access to reference materials such as standard cost estimates and regulations without navigating away from the screen.

The new system is expected to reduce review time and cut repetitive tasks. With the time saved, staff can spend less effort on simple calculations and focus their capabilities on complex legal reviews and policy judgments.

The system is currently in a pilot phase, operating with actual contract review data to verify the accuracy of output data and ensure the reliability of analytical results.

"We are currently in a pilot operation phase focused on verifying output data. We plan to gradually expand the scope of use after sufficiently ensuring accuracy and stability," said Yu Yong-cheol, head of the contract review division at the Gyeonggi Provincial Audit Committee. "Going forward, we will establish a data-driven contract review framework to enhance fairness and expertise in public administration."
