Contract Content Documentation:

·        Examples include: annual spend, total contract spend, contract effective dates, contract expiration dates, firm pricing vs price escalator arrangements, rebate offerings, termination rights, notice periods, access vs commitment obligations and freight responsibilities amongst others.

 

·        Populating a contract transfer form with agreement attributes Sentara Supply Chain will need to upload such arrangements into the CLM tool. 

·        Examples include: contract owner, contract category, affiliate entities, price term, exhibit inclusion such as consignment terms, business associate terms and service terms amongst others.

 

·        In reviewing the portfolio this resource may provide recommendations and draft simple contract template activity.

·        Examples include: termination notices, contract extensions for portfolios to have coterminous expirations, amendments to consolidate agreements, add affiliates or eliminate conflicts or inconsistencies amongst terms.
