After inputting the contract details, the user can generate the contract. The contract document is generated as a PDF document which can be printed and sent to the provider. The contract is sent to the provider for them to check, sign and return before the agreed terms can come into effect. This process is called issuing the contract.
The provider or provider group review the terms and sign the contract. The signed document is then sent to the resource manager who activates the contract in the system. The contract then becomes live, and as of the contract start date, the provider can start delivering services according to the terms specified in the contract. The provider and provider services must be approved by the agency in order for the contract to be activated.
