Contract Management
Manage the full contract lifecycle with AI-assisted review, clause extraction, risk flagging, and automated renewal alerts.
The hidden cost of contract sprawl
Most enterprises store contracts across SharePoint folders, email attachments, and legacy CLM systems with no unified view. Obligation dates slip, renewal windows close unnoticed, and teams renegotiate terms they already agreed to in prior agreements. Tender AI centralizes every contract with AI-extracted metadata so nothing falls through the cracks.
AI-assisted contract review
Upload a contract draft or executed agreement. Tender AI extracts key clauses—payment terms, liability caps, termination rights, SLAs, IP ownership, data protection—and maps them to your playbook. Deviations from standard terms are highlighted with suggested fallback language from your clause library. Legal teams review flagged items only, cutting review time by up to 70%.
Lifecycle automation
From draft through negotiation, execution, amendment, and renewal, every version is tracked with full audit history. Automated workflows route contracts to legal, finance, and business approvers based on value thresholds and risk scores. Renewal alerts fire 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry with pre-populated renegotiation briefs including spend history and performance data.
Compliance and risk visibility
A real-time dashboard shows contract exposure by category, supplier, geography, and risk tier. Regulatory overlays (GDPR, SOX, FAR/DFARS, HIPAA) pre-configure required clauses and flag omissions. Integration with sourcing and spend modules means every PO is checked against active contract terms before approval.

Frequently asked questions
Does Tender AI replace our CLM system?
Tender AI can serve as your primary CLM or integrate with existing systems like Icertis, DocuSign CLM, or Ironclad via API. Many customers start with AI review and obligation tracking, then expand to full lifecycle management.
How does AI handle non-standard contract formats?
The parser supports PDF, Word, scanned images, and HTML. Layout analysis preserves table structures and multi-column formats common in legal documents.
Can we define our own clause playbook?
Yes. Import your standard terms, preferred language, and fallback positions. The AI scores every incoming contract against your playbook and suggests edits.
What about e-signature integration?
Native integrations with DocuSign, Adobe Sign, and HelloSign. Signed documents auto-archive with extracted metadata.
How are contract amendments handled?
Amendments link to parent agreements with automatic clause inheritance. The system shows a consolidated view of the current effective terms after all amendments.
