How Unimarket Contracts works
1. Upload contracts in bulk
Get up and running quickly by bulk uploading all your existing contracts via CSV file in one action. Contract data can also be extracted for editing and then uploaded again, making it quick and easy to make changes in bulk and minimize manual effort.
2. Work with colleagues
Collaborate with others throughout the life of the contract. Leave comments for collaborators and maintain an auditable record of all notes. You're always in control of who can access or edit contracts.
3. Monitor spend against contract
When integrated with the Unimarket eProcurement solution, spend is tracked against supplier contracts, to provide the data you need to negotiate stronger contracts and maximize value for your organization.
4. Upload and populate with AI Contract Extraction
Skip the manual data entry entirely. Upload an existing contract PDF and AI Contract Extraction automatically extracts key details, like supplier names, effective dates, and financial values to pre-populate your contract record. Review, validate, and confirm the extracted data before the contract goes live, ensuring accuracy at every step.

FAQs
Can the Contracts Module be used to help store similar information not collected through a procurement process, such as leases?
Yes. The Contracts Module is flexible and allows you to store any number of different agreement and document types. The module allows your organization to name the Contract Types that are important to you; this means lease agreements, NDA’s, campus affiliation agreements, and anything else you can dream up. Due to the customizable nature of the tool, you can store any type of agreement you like.
Is there an intake for ad hoc contracts?
Absolutely, there is, and we have customers using the module this way today. If a contract has not yet been drafted or finalized, a user may utilize the Create Contract role to input the key details for a contract such as the supplier and a description of the contract. Our workflow functionality will route the contract to the key stakeholders identified for that contract type, which allows them to draft up a new contract according to the requirements outlined in the intake process.
Can the workflow allow us to enter a new person into the review process?
Yes, the workflow supports ad hoc approval steps, meaning you can delegate a contract reviewer on any workflow step that you have designated as an ad hoc step. This means you can dynamically select the person or people you would like to include on-the-fly.
Can we implement Contracts before other modules, or on its own?
Yes, and we even encourage it. The Contracts module can stand alone without the use of other Unimarket modules. Other modules can also be added later. Finally, some of our customers prefer to get started on using the Contracts module while they are still planning resources for the implementation of other modules, so Contracts is a great place to start when setting up and rolling out Unimarket.
Does the Contracts Module allow us to attach supporting documents like insurance certificates or amendments?
Yes. In addition to the primary contract document, you can attach any number of supporting documents, including certificates of insurance, amendments, addenda, or correspondence related to the contract. All related files are easily accessible within the contract record, ensuring a complete audit trail and simplifying document management for compliance and reporting purposes.
How long does it typically take to implement the Contracts Module?
Because the Contracts module is designed to be lightweight and highly configurable, many institutions are able to implement it in just a few weeks. The timeline can vary based on the complexity of your workflows and the volume of contracts you wish to load initially, but many Unimarket customers see full deployment within 6–8 weeks, including stakeholder training and workflow configuration.
How much does Contracts cost?

Do I have to use Unimarket eProcurement and Marketplace to use Contracts?
No, you can use Contracts as a standalone contract management solution. However, it is most powerful when used together with Unimarket [eProcurement](/content/solutions/eprocurement/ "eProcurement"/index.html) and Marketplace, as that allows you to track spend against contracts.
