Contracts Register Service
Establishing foundations for contract & relationship management
Contract & Relationship Management (C&RM) remains a major challenge for the UK public sector. Since the end of the pandemic, councils are having to deal with high inflation, supply chain disruption and recruitment problems set against a background of reduced budgets.
Many council CEOs and lead Members recognise that urgent action is required. The reputational damage that comes with poorly performing contracts has huge personal and corporate consequences. C&RM is not just about seeking compliance. It is the operational and commercial relationships that are built into your contracts that will determine the outcomes and value that you achieve.
About the Contracts Register Service (CRS)
All C&RM transformation projects require one thing before they can start – a comprehensive, up-to-date and easily accessible contracts register.
The CRS is a cost effective, proven, easy to use solution to gaining contract visibility and access for you to start your journey.
It is:
A secure, web based service with no need for implementation/technical consultants
Low cost, fixed price, paid as an annual fee with no ongoing maintenance, user number restrictions, licence fees or hidden charges
Intuitive and easy to use, requiring very little training
It contains:
Powerful searching, filtering and reporting
Flexible import and export of data
Email alerts on upcoming contract expiry dates
Comprehensive support for future planning and contract alignment
The CRS can be deployed either as a standalone service for a single organisation or as a shared service.
Developed and hosted by New Information Paradigms.
