Contract Development & Sourcing

Open Windows contracts-ENTERPRISE supports your procurement efforts through development and sourcing. Detailed modules within the software facilitate risk determination, business case routing & sign-off, document movement & approvals. The system manages tenders from the creation of RFP documents and worksheets to the publishing and electronic submission of responses through the Open Windows eTendering portal, and the evaluation & award of contracts with pre-qualified or new vendors. Of course the system manages the bidding process on the customer side also, and the assembly, versioning and approval of documents including eSignatures during the both the negotiation and delivery stages of buy or sell contracts.

Risk, Compliance, & Governance

From Director Level and flowing all the way down, there is contract management pain across every part today’s enterprise. The biggest risk many organisations face is that they do not know what the risks are. Open Windows contracts-ENTERPRISE helps to identify, manage, and mitigate the risk that is inherent in all business agreements. Managing your contracts lifecycle end-to-end in a single system mitigates the risks and errors caused by multiple systems, and a comprehensive suite of contract compliance modules within contracts-ENTERPRISE help to ensure that the contracts you are signing are the contracts being delivered, and that nothing is overlooked. These modules include KPI management, obligation and deliverable management, insurance management, risk determination & mitigation, as well as all our document management, project and program management tools.

Review and Renewal

Of utmost importance is that contract managers are made aware of commercially critical trigger points in advance, so that they can take pre-emptive action, to ensure that problems do not develop. Contract events such as reviews and renewals require planning, and parties require advance notice so that they can prepare for notices and negotiations, anticipate issues and manage positive outcomes.
