By introducing competition and leverage to the buying process, Corporate Contracts ensures that your suppliers are offering you the best possible price. We will help you draft Requests for Bid, Information, or Proposal, each an effective tool for increasing leverage. We will recognize and counter the tactics used by suppliers to gain an advantage over your purchasing department. Corporate Contracts negotiates with suppliers, face-to-face or via phone, on your behalf until you are happy with the deal you are getting.
Corporate Contracts' methods of increasing leverage, used in conjunction with our knowledge of contract terms and drafting, allow our negotiators to ensure that you are allotted a fair share of contract risk. Our negotiators are highly skilled and possess years of experience in contract drafting and interpretation. This allow us to review the written contracts proposed by suppliers, generate a "Risk Assessment" and propose our own modifications to those sections you wish to change. In most cases, we modify the suppliers' agreements to meet your needs, however in certain situations it might be necessary to draft a new contract from scratch. It is important, however, to realize that we are not providing legal advice, nor are we a substitute for your own legal counsel. We are happy to work closely with your legal counsel to ensure that the final agreement meets your organization's needs.
Corporate Contracts helps you with your budgeting by introducing controls on a supplier's ability to raise prices. By negotiating limits on subsequent price increases, you retain control over future years' spending.
Experience and skill equate to efficiency and consistency. Our negotiators are highly skilled, extensively trained, and possess significant experience specifically in IT procurement and negotiations. Allowing us to employ our talents on your behalf will yield you increased consistency and efficiency in your purchasing process. Efficiency will increase as you and your personnel are able to focus your efforts on your primary responsibilities, while we handle the negotiations. The terms of your contracts will rapidly become more consistent, significantly decreasing the amount of time involved in staying compliant or interpreting contract provisions. In addition, organizations that have a reputation as tough but fair negotiators often find suppliers coming to the table with reasonable pricing and terms much sooner than those who suppliers feel are less assertive.
