Legal maintains a library of approved templates: Purchase Order T&Cs, Services Agreement, Works Contract, Framework Agreement, NDA, MoU and LOI. Deviations require Legal review.
GSC maintains a central Contract Register capturing: contract reference, counterparty, value, start/end dates, renewal options, owner and status. The Register is the single source of truth for all active contracts.
WRITTEN ONLY All amendments, variations, extensions and terminations shall be in writing and approved per DOA. Verbal changes are not enforceable and shall not be actioned. |
Contract owners shall review performance against contractual KPIs at least quarterly. Material breaches are escalated to GSC and Legal.
On expiry or completion, GSC performs a formal close-out: final deliverables accepted, warranty retention released (where applicable), lessons learned captured and the Contract Register updated.
