Procurement Services Contract Review Guidelines

Procurement Services’ Contract Review team MUST review all purchase agreements, no matter the value, when there is a written contract, agreement, or purchase order involved. The guidelines for contract review include:

1. Select a contract template from the Standard University Agreements if applicable.
2. Complete and submit a Contract Review Form.
3. Participate in the negotiation process, if necessary:
   1. The submitted contract and supporting information are reviewed for standard legal terms and conditions.
   2. Negotiations may be required between the University department, the contractor, Contract Review Services and Office of General Counsel.
   3. All necessary modifications are made to the contract.
   4. The department will receive an email notification when their contract is fully signed. The signed agreement can be found in the contract system under the Documents tab as a part of that contract record.
4. Administer and monitor the contract throughout its terms. Reference the Contract Monitoring Checklist for assistance.
