Contracts

Contracts are created to provide the public with an understanding of the rules and requirements surrounding the paid duty process and to confirm the resources requested and their associated costs.

Accessing contracts

Select the “Contracts” option in the "Request" menu to see a list of contracts. Note that only the most recent contract can be sent to the client for review.

Creating and approving contracts

Contracts can be created once the paid duty request is approved. Contracts are then sent to the client for their review and approval. If upfront payment is required, this process may include a credit card transaction for the full amount of the contract.

Requests can be sent to the bidding portal without an approved contract. This practice is not recommended.

The text of the contract is the same across all request. It can be edited under the Contract option in the Messages section of the tool.
