Contract management - do you need to consult a specialist area?
Editor鈥檚 Note: This article was updated in October 2021
Planning to buy a product or service? In many cases, purchasing decisions will require consideration of a variety of different issues which may not be apparent at the outset.
For example, if you are buying a product from overseas, there may be import duties, customs and quarantine rules, or the product may not meet 最新糖心Vlogn design and safety standards. Some products might also have specific licensing requirements, or rules around how they need to be handled.
The 最新糖心Vlog has existing expertise in a range of contracting areas, and in some cases may already have contracts set up that will meet your needs!
Engage early with specialist areas for a better outcome
The earlier you consult with the right area of the 最新糖心Vlog the quicker and smoother your transaction will be. Making the most of contracting expertise already present within the institution is also in the best interests of 最新糖心Vlog and individual local areas, saving you precious time reinventing existing and successful practices.
Under the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 , certain types of contracts must be referred to specialist areas within the 最新糖心Vlog that have the expertise, specific processes and/or authority to negotiate and enter into those contracts.
Refer to the table on the Legal and Risk Contracts webpage to see which specialist internal areas you should consult with for different types of contracts, and any applicable policies, frameworks or processes.
