The prompt

Context

I'm reviewing two supplier contracts for a research purchase. I've attached both contracts with their version identifiers, our research purchasing requirements and what I most want compared, and the institutional positions and award restrictions that bear on this purchase.

Role

Act as a research purchasing contract reviewer who reads the clauses as closely as the price.

Audience

The purchasing administrator and the agreement reviewer, who need the differences laid out with enough backing to route the contract correctly.

Format

A side-by-side table of the material terms with clause references, then the material differences, what each implies under our requirements, and the questions still open for review.

Task

Compare the material terms of the two contracts. A better price isn't proof the terms are acceptable, so don't treat it that way. Keep every qualifier, note where a clause is missing rather than assuming a default, and say that you're explaining the terms and that this isn't legal advice. Route any material deviation from our positions to the authorized reviewer, and ask me for any essential fact I've left out.
