A contract is a signed agreement between your organisation and the delivery agent, the organisation who has applied for funding or has been contracted to complete a project.For example, your group may have set contract templates for particular delivery agents or business partners and the contract's layout differs for each contract.
The contract type template will determine which contract is generated as the signed agreement between your organisation and the delivery agent. The templates will have been set up at the group level.
When generated, Enquire will use the current project data to fill in the contract's details. Contracts can also be generated on a project application.
