Contract Purchasing FAQ
What buyers ask.
Auto-renewal at a 12% hike. How is that prevented?
Auto-renewal clauses in contracts are tagged at contract entry. Alerts fire 30, 60 and 90 days before the renewal trigger. Procurement reviews; the renewal decision (accept, renegotiate, terminate) is captured before the auto-renewal hits.
Volume tier pricing. How does it work?
Tiered rate cards (e.g., ₹100 / unit for first 1000, ₹95 / unit for next 4000, ₹90 / unit thereafter). Cumulative volume tracked per FY or per contract period. Each release picks the right tier rate automatically.
Multi-vendor commodity (we buy from 3 suppliers for the same item)?
Yes. Each vendor has its own rate card. Releases pick the vendor based on procurement preference (rotation, performance, quotation). Aggregate consumption tracked at the commodity level for visibility.
How is contract performance reviewed?
Quarterly or annually. The contract dashboard shows volume committed vs consumed, price escalation vs market, supplier performance under the contract. Findings feed the next negotiation.
