# Vendor contract and renewal review

Extract key terms and renewal dates from vendor contracts, flag unusual clauses for review, and make sure no renewal passes unnoticed.

[Talk through this workflow](https://lidvizion.ai/contact/?need=ai-workflow&from=%2Fuse-cases%2Fvendor-contract-review%2F#write) · [Connect your tools](https://lidvizion.ai/services/integrations/)

Where it starts

## The trigger.

A new vendor contract arrives, or a renewal date is approaching.

How it runs today

- Renewal dates are missed and contracts roll over automatically.
- Key terms are buried in PDFs nobody rereads.
- Nobody can list every vendor commitment in one place.

The workflow

## Four bounded steps.

Each step has an owner and a stop rule.

1. 01 / Collect
   Gather contracts into one approved location.
2. 02 / Extract
   Pull parties, term, renewal date, notice period and fees into a register.
3. 03 / Flag
   Highlight clauses that differ from the company’s standard terms for review.
4. 04 / Remind
   Alert the owner before each notice deadline with the key terms attached.

Where people stay in control

## Approval points.

- A named reviewer checks every flagged clause; legal questions go to counsel.
- Renewal and cancellation decisions stay with the budget owner.

How we would measure it

## Against a baseline.

Measured before and after, on the same work.

### Contracts in the register with complete key terms.

### Renewals decided before the notice deadline.

### Time to review a new contract, before and after.
