Reusable operating kit
Vendor renewal brief
Turn a renewal notice into a documented keep, change, combine, renegotiate, or stop decision.
What the completed kit should do
A renewal decision based on business fit, risk, ownership, and exit readiness.
Capture these facts in your approved system
- Service, supported business job, owner, users, and locations
- Contract term, renewal deadline, notice period, and total known cost categories
- Information held, integrations, administrator, recovery, support, and incident terms
- Export, deletion, portability, accessibility, continuity, and exit path
- Decision, evidence, approver, action owner, and date
Use the structure in this order
- 01
Start before the notice deadline.
- 02
Verify the actual contract and current service configuration.
- 03
Ask users about required work and recurring failures.
- 04
Test export or exit assumptions where safe.
- 05
Approve and track the decision through billing confirmation.
Close the loop
The renewal action has an owner and the business can explain what it is buying, why, and how it would leave.
