About Contracts+

Contracts+ is a new module in eSHOP implemented by the Procure-to-Pay team (P2P). This will move contracting for the university from a multi-system process to a single system that provides end-user visibility. Additional features of the new system include:

• further automate workflow related to contract review, including approval and subject matter experts (SME’s) such as IT security, ADA and legal review
• standardize contract templates across the NU campuses
• provide visibility to the contract review process for our campus stakeholders
• allow for automatic uploads to the state contract database as required by LB429.

For questions regarding Contracts+, contact Julie Dexter or Phil Cusic.

Step One

Use the link below to sign up for a class (pre-registration is required). Currently classes are only scheduled for the month of September; future training needs will be evaluated based on demand.

Step Two

Sign up to attend a Q&A session. In this optional session, you will have the opportunity to bring additional questions to the contracts team after you have played around in the training system or have started a submission in the live site.
