Active Contracts Register™
Accounting and ERP systems (though valuable sources of contract information) typically fall short of the day-to-day processing and information needs of procurement and commissioning professionals.
What is needed is all the relevant contract information and detail in one easy-to-access system.
A Contracts Register is the logical, practical and pragmatic starting point - but it should be more than just a list of contract titles. NIP's Active Contracts Register™ will:
- Capture, attach and connect all relevant Contract Details and Documents
- Deliver control, access, visibility and security for different organisational levels: Cost Centre, Business Unit, Department, Directorate, Authority
- Comprehensively support the management of Framework Contracts (including multiple suppliers and 'lots')
- Meet Transparency Requirements (Freedom of Information (FOI) enquiries, Contract publishing requirements etc.)
- Provide the mechanism for Category / Market Management (using ProClass, CPV and / or other categorising schemes)
- Links to eTendering, OJEU Notices and publishing Portals
- Implement Contract Performance Management, supplier scoring, SLA monitoring
- Enable Visual and Structured Reporting
- Allow all content to be accessed and changed / updated by authorised users
The Active Contracts Register™ is the core module for NIP's PL-cms™.
It is the first step towards full Commercial Life Cycle Management - enabling successful management of commissioning and procurement processes and resources. In other words, once contract information is assembled in an Active Contracts Register, the Commercial Lifecycle Processes can be mapped out and continuously improved.
The Active Contracts Register™ also forms the basis of our Collaborative Contracts Register Service and Public Contracts Register solutions.
