Review A Contract

Contracts are necessary to our business, and we understand the importance of scrutiny to safeguard everyone's interests. It is important to understand that not all contracts/ agreements are reviewed by Emory's Strategic Sourcing department.

To determine what types of contract requires review, please read The Procurement Contract Request Guidelines. Your department's Chief Business Officer and/or senior leaders are in the best position to determine if a review by Procurement is needed after reviewing the agreement against these guidelines. Your unit will then follow path #1 or path #2

Path #1: Contract Self Service:

If it is determined that Emory's Strategic Sourcing does not need to review the contract, units should use the Contract Self-Service platform (most used for low-risk and low-dollar-value contracts), thus allowing departments to review, negotiate and execute agreements without engaging Procurement.

Path #2: Procurement Contract Request Form

The Procurement Contract Request Form is used to initiate new procurement contract requests and to request the review of existing procurement contracts that need to be uploaded into the university's contract repository. This process aims to provide an efficient manner to submit supplier contracts to the Procurement department for contract review, initiation, and execution while allowing for status updates.
