What is a contract

The Contract register helps you manage contractual relationships and associated compliance requirements. 

In the Contract register you can:

• Maintain a library of contracts such as supplier, funding, and employment contracts
• Receive reminders about and delegate tasks for contract review and renewal
• Link tasks to contracts to manage reporting or other compliance obligations.
