Contract Obligations Register

Convert Contract Clauses into Owners, Deadlines, Evidence and Actions.

"Make Contract Obligations Operational."

Typically deployed by

Commercial managers, contract administrators and risk leads at main contractors, FM providers and infrastructure operators with multi-clause framework agreements.

Most often deployed

After an obligations review on a sample of executed contracts. Sits in Step 2 of the engagement, usually alongside an existing pack like Commercial Control or Bidroom.

Pairs naturally with

Commercial Control downstream, captures the notices that obligations trigger. Bidroom upstream, locks the assumptions in at tender stage. AI Governance, disciplines how clauses are extracted.

Who it's for

Operators Running Multi-Contract Obligation Portfolios.

Land here when

Multi-contract portfolio at a tier-1 main contractor. Framework + bespoke contracts. Notice failures starting to surface at month-end as LD claims.

First move

Run a clause-extraction sample across 3 live contracts. Stand up the live register against the 5-step workflow. Quarterly sweep cadence agreed with the commercial sponsor.

The fit

Obligations Register + Notice Deadlines Tracker, the two outputs that change the rhythm.

100%Material clauses owned
The problem it solves

Contracts Get Signed, Then Sit on a Shelf.

Most teams know the obligations exist, buried in the executed contract, the schedules, the KPI annexe, the LD triggers. They know the risk of missing them. What they don't have is a repeatable workflow, an ownership model or a reporting structure that surfaces obligations weekly, not three months after they should have been raised.

The cost is structural: missed notices, weak entitlement, late evidence, surprise LD claims, and a commercial position that depends on whoever happens to remember the clause. Obligations Register replaces that with a live row per clause, owned, evidenced, notice-clock armed.

Clause visibility
Before

Obligations buried in the executed contract, schedules, KPI annexe and LD triggers.

After

Every material clause becomes a live row, source-traced to clause + page anchor + executed-contract version.

Ownership
Before

Whoever happened to draft the bid is also assumed to own the obligation post-award.

After

Each obligation carries a named owner, an evidence pointer and a notice-trigger date.

Notice clocks
Before

Notice deadlines surface three months late, when the LD claim arrives.

After

Notice triggers populate the weekly review calendar; upcoming-14-day digest issued every Monday.

Evidence
Before

Audit responses scrambled together from individual memories and shared drives.

After

Per-obligation evidence pointer + freshness flag, queryable on demand.

Operating rhythm
Before

Quarterly review cadence depends on whoever happens to remember the clause exists.

After

Weekly digest + quarterly sweep + ad-hoc evidence pulls become the reporting rhythm.

How the workflow works

Five Steps from Executed Contract to Live Register.

Clear lines, every time

What the AI Does. What Stays With You.

What the AI does

Reads and classifies every clause, schedule and annexe in the executed contract suite

Drafts clause descriptions, owner suggestions, evidence-requirement tags and notice-trigger conditions

Cross-references clauses against KPI annexes, LD tables and reporting schedules so dependencies surface

Surfaces upcoming triggers in the weekly digest and quarterly sweep

Flags evidence freshness, where the last attestation is older than the threshold

Generates draft notices and cure-period correspondence ready for legal/commercial review

Maintains a clean source-trace per row (clause cite + page anchor + executed-contract version)

Produces audit-ready exports, register snapshot, evidence index, notice log, on demand

HUMAN ONLY
What it doesn't do, stays with you

Doesn't decide which clauses are 'material', that's the contract owner / legal sponsor

Doesn't issue notices or cure-period correspondence, drafts only; humans send

Doesn't sign off owner attribution, the commercial manager or contract administrator does

Doesn't replace legal advice on contract interpretation

Doesn't override the executed contract, surfaces the position; humans decide the response

Doesn't change the LD position or the cure-period clock

Doesn't access correspondence outside the agreed evidence scope
