What to Know prior to Submitting a Request:

  1. You will no longer submit contract requests through the Contract Request Portal. A link to the platform will be provided once testing is finalized and production is complete. 
  2. To submit a request, you will be required to sign into ProConnect using your Rowan credentials through Single-Sign On.
  3. The content in the new request form is very similar to the current request form. All basic required information will still be necessary for the OC&P to approve your request and create your contract.
  4. The Standard Service Agreement Template that is heavily used by end-users today will no longer need to be provided during the request process.
  5. Simply outline the Scope of Work in the request form and we will generate the contract based on the information required. We will then work with the vendor for review and signature. You will have visibility of the contract throughout the entire review, negotiation, and signature processes, and can comment directly on the form with any questions or necessary communications.
