Contract Management Mugs

'In conclusion; our major contract expires tomorrow, we have no idea what we want, and no knowledge of the market, It is time to pass this across to the Procurement Team...'

'To close the deal, I had to make some minor concessions.'

'This service has been brought back in house and outsourced numerous times. I propose that as the contract is up for renewal again we consider 'shaking it all about''

"I downloaded this public sector tender we should consider bidding for. I’m hoping that these new Procurement Regulations will make it a less tortuous exercise." "Based on that first page I suggest nothing has changed..."

The contract was not worth the paper it was written on, which considering the paper was not a good sign.

'This is my partner. He'll be taking care of the small print.'

'Pick a contract...any contract!'

'Upset at you for breaching the non-compete? Of course not.'

'As my solicitor I think you could have negotiated that better.'

"We-your agents, successors, licensees, and assigns--would like to share a few thoughts with you."

The new contract didn't leave him much room to maneuver his hoverdesk.

'I'd like your permission to enter into pre-nuptial negotiations...'

BEWARE OF THE DOG!; 'So much for management's pledge to bargain in good faith.'

"Whaddya want for nineteen mil?"

"Nice work on that German contract. You've made your mark, Ashworth."

The Devil's in the detail!

"This is what happens when you award the contract to the cheapest tender...."

Pre-nuptal Agreement.

"Gracie's the only kid I know who offers El Cucuy under her bed a no-compete contract."

"I like your thinking Steve. Hiding the contract loopholes under the staples is brilliant."

'There's really no need for confusion. Part 95 of section 33 of Article L in the contract clearly states ...'

'You have the contract drafted by the lawyer. This is his bill for it.'

"Stop, stop right there. That's it, that's the Anderson contract."

"UK government aren’t budging boss. Sole supplier or not under the new procurement regulations our new contract has to have three KPIs..."

"Sign our updated non-compete agreement. It now includes nasty comments on social media."

'He followed me home, Mom. Can I sign him to a five-year, $80-million contract?..'

'Following your 'barbecue summer' forecast, I'm revising predictions of your contract being reviewed.'

'I agreed to guide you, My contract says nothing about pulling a sleigh,'

"A handshake is as good as a thirty-page contract, eh, Mr. Harrison?"

'Sorry...I don't deal with lease issues.'

'There's no use complaining, clause 34 section 67 of your contract says '...and any other duties as outlined by your manager'.'

Don't forget to read the small print.

We agreed that your contract was too complicated so we redrafted it to cover your new responsibilities...

"My loophole out-loopholes your loophole."

"You're one of the short termed employed. You're out of here tomorrow."
