Legal Review Process

NPP contract template should be used whenever possible, but there are circumstances whereby third-party agreement may used. Third party contracts/agreements must be reviewed by a Divisional Contracting Representative who will conduct the preliminary risk assessment. Based on the preliminary results, contracts/agreements requiring further assessment are to be forwarded to the NPP Procurement and Contracts Officer for liaison with CFLA.
 
 To expedite the process and avoid multiple inquires , all requests for a CFLA contract/agreement review must contain the following:

• Short summary of the case;
• Contract/agreement;
• A copy of any previous or current contract/master agreement with the vendor;
• Copy of an RFP, if applicable;
• Statement of Work; and
• Any other relevant documentation or communication with the vendor.

The CFLA contract review process requires minimum three weeks, therefore you should ensure that the legal review is incorporated into the project timeline.
