According to the Gartner Group, 60% of all supplier contracts automatically renew without the buyer's knowledge, mainly because the buyer fails to terminate the contract. Even more astonishing is the fact that 50% of the contracts are renewed several times without the buyer's knowledge (Forbes, Gardner group).

A laissez-faire attitude towards contract management can have serious financial consequences, as automatic contract renewals often involve more expensive terms and late terminations can lead to litigation and damage. Contracts are not documents to "sign and file", they are rather living documents that are subject to real events / changes.

The contractual framework is structured in individual, framework and consortium or project contracts. Individual contracts are concluded for a specific contract object; they can be concluded for a limited or unlimited period. An outline agreement is a scheduling agreement that defines the terms of delivery between the supplier and the customer. Consortium or project contracts are concluded for the realization of larger projects, usually construction or infrastructure measures.

If you need a complete overview of the business data (costs and revenues) based on your customer and supplier relationships at a glance, you can achieve this with a mouse click. The following interactive graph enables you to quickly determine your current contractual fixed business relationships based on the contract values of the active contracts.

Contract risks are only risks if they have not been evaluated and made manageable by an action plan to be taken. However, if this risk assessment is only a one-off process, i.e. these risks do not remain in focus through regular audits, then you cannot benefit from your previous assessment.
