The revised version of the Clauses, released on 5 March 2025. These MCC-AI have been drafted for public organisations wishing to procure an AI System that is developed or will be developed by an external Supplier. Thes MCC-AI follow largely the requirements and obligations for high-risk AI Systems included in the Chapter III of the Artificial Intelligence Act (‘AI Act’)1. The MCC-AI have been developed in the context of the Community of Practice on Public Procurement of AI2 supported by the European Commission.
The Clauses are not legally binding in and of themselves. They are a voluntary tool, not an official EU legislative document, and their use is discretionary.
Value outside the EU and in the UK
In practice, UK entities might customise the Clauses to reflect domestic laws while retaining their AI-specific provisions. The voluntary nature of the Clauses makes them a flexible resource.
