Maximum business benefit from your supply contracts

Suppliers now face considerable challenges in successfully concluding IT procurement projects. Customers are becoming more demanding in their requirements. Not only do they want projects to complete on time, they want this guaranteed in the contract through liquidated damages. They want software houses to underwrite their product and accept increased liability. They want potentially expensive service credit regimes to go hand in hand with maintenance arrangements.

Not only do customers want suppliers to undertake these more onerous obligations, but they also want this at no extra charge. If a supplier is not careful, the profit margins on a project can very quickly be eaten away.

Even more worryingly, if these issues are not dealt with properly in the contract, the supplier is at risk of a damages claim, which not only eats away at the project, but which could undermine the profitability of the company as a whole.

It is therefore vital that a supplier gets legal advice from a specialist in this intricate and complex area of law.
