A contracts register provides easy access to relevant contract information. It can also help you plan procurement activity by, for example, putting in place a new contract (if necessary) before the current contract finishes. A good contracts register includes the following information:
What the contract is for
Contract manager name
Supplier name
Start and finish dates of the contract
At what intervals the contract will be reviewed
Value of the contract (known value or an estimate)
The route to market taken to establish the contract
For a more detailed dive into this area, there is a Contracts Register Template in the Plan section of the Procurement Toolkit.
