Contract Value

Contract Value

There are a few different ways that the value of a contract can be defined. The first and most common way is by looking at the total value of the goods or services being procured. This is the simplest way to define contract value, but it can be misleading.

The second way to define contract value is by looking at the maximum value of the contract. This is the highest amount that could potentially be paid out under the terms of the contract. This number is usually much higher than the actual value of the goods or services being procured, as it includes things like cancellation fees and other contingencies.

The third way to define contract value is by looking at the Minimum Total Contract Value (MTCV). This is the lowest possible amount that could be paid out under the terms of the contract. This number is often used as a starting point for negotiations, as it gives both parties an idea of what they are willing to walk away from the deal with.

All three of these methods have their pros and cons, but ultimately it is up to the buyer to decide which one best suits their needs.
