Overview

The contract office assists and advises departments with contract negotiations, document review, and other contractual and/or legal matters that require coordination and/or advice from the Office of General Counsel, risk management, environmental health and safety, facilities, or other departments as needed. The contract office assists in preparing and processing service, expenditure, revenue and other miscellaneous contracts. The office is responsible for ensuring that a contract contains the agreed upon business terms and that the university is protected against unnecessary risk and is complying with its legal and financial obligations associated with the contract.

Contract Approval Process

If a department has a supplier's quote that mentions terms and conditions or if it is a supplier’s contract and it has not previously reviewed, it must be reviewed by the Office of General Counsel. We will coordinate this review. Follow the process below:

1. Enter a requisition into WrightBuy.
2. Attach the contract or quote needing reviewed in internal notes.
3. Make a comment that this needs reviewed.

Contract services will use the requisition number to track the contract and will add comments along the review process to keep the department updated. If a requisition does not need to be entered, then please e-mail it to lindsay.ramge@wright.edu.
