Abstract
Contracting for services differs from the typical purchasing contract for materials.
The sourcing process is different and has a different set of challenges. We will review the
basics of contracting for services, including what you need to receive from your end users and
suppliers prior to formalizing a contract. Some of the important elements include the detailed
Scope of Work (SOW), the contract terms and conditions, and the process for finding a
supplier. In this session, we will also review the pros and cons of using a reverse auction to
source services.
