Troubleshooting/FAQs

 

 

Electronic Signatures

 

Q: I have a contract that needs to be signed electronically. The vendor has sent the contract to me via an electronic signing program, how should I submit it?

 

A: Make sure to instruct the Vendor to make Sharlene Brown, SCORE VP of Finance ([email protected]) the SCORE official signer on the contract. Please also submit the above form, and make a comment in the "note's section" that contract has been submitted to the VP of Finance electronically.

 

 

Sponsorship Agreements

 

Q: I have a contract that involves a sponsorship or partnership agreement with another organization (not a purchase of goods or services). Does the SCORE VP of Finance still need to sign the contract.

 

 

A: Yes, please also submit sponsorship/partnership agreements though the above form. The competitive bid documentation requirement does not apply to these contracts.
