Redesigned header and improved access to documents in Contracts, powered by VendorPanel

Liz Phelan··2 min read

This release introduces a significant redesign of the contract management interface, centralising document access and providing greater administrative control over procurement processes. Changes are focused on reducing navigation friction and improving data visibility, ensuring that your team can manage complex contract hierarchies with ease and precision.

The New Contract Experience

The contract screen has been rebuilt to prioritise the tools your staff use most, removing clutter and surfacing critical information.

  • Centralised Document Access: A new top-level Documents button replaces buried menu options, opening a unified popup that aggregates files from across the contract record, including external shares and SharePoint references.
  • "All Documents" Zip: Staff can now view and download every attachment within a contract hierarchy—including extensions, payments, and meetings—as a single zip file, eliminating the need to hunt through individual records.
  • Visual Value Tracking: The contract value tile has been transformed into a dynamic progress bar, providing a clear visual representation of committed value and variations at a glance.
  • Enhanced Vendor Visibility: The vendor contacts tile now explicitly shows when multiple contacts are linked, ensuring staff are aware of all relevant stakeholders rather than just the primary contact.
  • Simplified Navigation: By merging "More Options" into the tab bar and removing redundant headings, the interface provides a cleaner, more consistent workspace across all contract tabs.
  • Admin Area has been moved: The admin area has been moved to the More Options section to keep the header simple and clean

New Capabilities 

Administrators now have more granular control over procurement data and automated communications, ensuring system settings reflect real-world business needs.

  • Customisable Price Models: The Price Model field is now a maintainable managed list with multi-select capabilities. Admins can define specific pricing structures (e.g., Lump Sum, Monthly Service Fee) that match their organisation's unique procurement requirements.
  • Procurement Process Lifecycle: A new Active/Inactive status for Procurement Processes allows admins to retire old workflows without deleting historical data, keeping selection lists clean for new plans while maintaining integrity for ongoing ones.
  • Automated Variation Letters: New mail merge codes for variations and extensions now include vendor contact details and contract manager information, allowing for the generation of professional, ready-to-send letters without manual editing.

These updates will be live on September 9, 2026.
