How should the intake be used?
Use it to organise the review pack and assign questions. Do not treat a completed checklist as an opinion on the contract.
| Area | Evidence | Reviewer |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Edition and amendments | Contracts lead |
| Completeness | Document index | Bid manager |
| Issues | Clause-linked register | Qualified adviser |
| Approval | Recorded position | Authorised signatory |
What is outside the tool?
This is document support, not legal advice. A qualified contracts or legal adviser must review the applicable contract and tender position.
Common questions
What else should the bid team know?
Is this legal advice?
This is document support, not legal advice. A qualified contracts or legal adviser must review the applicable contract and tender position.
Can a register decide whether a clause is fair?
No. It identifies the text, issue, owner and proposed question. A qualified adviser decides the legal or contractual position.
Should the whole contract be sent through the form?
Send a document index and a description of the review needed first. Use a secure, agreed channel for confidential contract files.
