Awards and framework agreements are signed through Contracts

What moves

Procurement asks Contracts to collect the signatures for an approved award letter or framework agreement and is told when the request is completed, declined, expired or withdrawn. The signed document is also filed in the contract register.

Before you start

• Contracts and Procurement in your plan
• Signing for other modules left on (the default)

Step by step

1. BuyerProcurement & Tenders

   Requests the signature of an approved award or framework agreement, naming the signers.

   You see:The request goes to Contracts with the signers already addressed.

2. SystemContracts & E-Signature

   Opens a signing request in the order given and invites the first signers.

   You see:The request appears under Envelopes; if the PDF is missing it waits and the owner is told.

3. SystemProcurement & Tenders

   Receives the outcome.

   You see:The award or agreement is marked signed, or shows why it was not; an answer that arrives twice changes nothing.
