Which fields should every row carry?
Illustrative example. The table shows a blank structure, not a recommended contract position.
| Field | Purpose | Reviewer |
|---|---|---|
| Document and version | Trace the source | Bid coordinator |
| Issue and consequence | Explain why it matters | Commercial lead |
| Proposed position | Record a draft request | Contracts and legal |
| Response and status | Close the loop | Bid coordinator |
What is outside the tool?
It does not read a contract, decide enforceability or draft legal advice. The output is a preparation aid only.
This is a document-control guide, not legal advice. A contracts professional and qualified legal adviser must decide the contractual position.
Common questions
What else should the bid team know?
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a document-control template only.
Does it store contract data?
No. Checklist selections remain in your browser.
May I reuse a publisher's clause text?
Use the licensed contract and follow its copyright terms; this template does not reproduce clauses.
