Hi Lisa, The University of New Mexico has a Contracts Signature Authority and Review Policy<http://policy.unm.edu/university-policies/2000/2010.html> and a Contract Management and Monitoring Policy<http://policy.unm.edu/university-policies/2000/2015.html>. Our Purchasing Department uses a contract management system called Contract Director; below is a blurb about it, including the contact information for someone who can provide additional information about the system.
The UNM Purchasing Department is currently using SciQuest's Contract Director to author and manage contracts on campus. Any and all purchasing contracts will be authored and stored in the Contract Director system. This system is a secure cloud based system that has the function-ality to author, edit and execute contracts with the added ease of an electronic signature platform integration. This system has the capability and capacity to be customized to fit separable need. The Contract Director system is intended as a central repository and will store all current and past contracts. If your department is interested in more information, regarding the contracting system, or if you would like to see a demonstration of the system and its capabilities, please contact Robert Ortiz at [email protected].

I am looking for examples of policies and procedures related to contract lifecycle including analysis, responsible parties, signature authority, and management. Also, if your institution uses a contract management system, I'd be very interested to hear what product you use and the level of satisfaction with it. Your assistance is greatly appreciated - thank you! Lisa.
