Contract lifecycle management (CLM) solution

Description

DALO has decided to digitalize its contracts and procurement documents through a Contract Creation System. DALO is looking for a standard solution for Contract Creation delivered either as Software as a Service (SaaS) or as software components to be installed in DALO’s closed internal IT-infrastructure. Through a software supported clause library, modular set up and wizard, the Contract Creation System shall support DALO’s different document types and the overall user experience of the Sourcing Managers when creating contracts and other procurement documents. Lot 1: DALO intends to streamline and automate its ways of working with Contract Creation. DALO has decided to digitalize its contracts and procurement documents through a Contract Creation System. The Contract Creation System that DALO has decided to purchase will not replace another Contract Creation System, as Contract Creation is not digitalized in a software solution at DALO today. The focus is to support all of DALO’s business needs in relation to Contract Creation driven by the requirements in the respective departments Legal and Acquisition & Contracting as well as the operational functions. Through a software supported clause library, the Contract Creation System shall support DALO’s different document types ranging from very complex documents to very simple documents. The Contract Creation System shall support DALO’s documents in both complexity and volume, as some of the documents are very complex and the DALO, as of today, has approximately 125 different templates that needs to be aligned to the extent possible and structured in a modular setup based on one combined clause library. The Contract Creation System will be used holistically across DALO by the different departments, but the primary users will be employees in Legal and Acquisition & Contracting. The Contract Creation System should be able to support the Contract Creation phase, including initiation and completion of first draft, internal review and authoring as well as negotiation with Third Party Users and signing of the contracts. Additionally, the Contract Creation System shall also fulfil a number of general requirements which cover the general use of the Contract Creation System. It is of great importance to DALO, that the Contract Creation System besides automating the back end part of contract creation also provides a user interface, capabilities and support so as the primary users will have a user-friendly experience of working with the system.
