Approve and Sign a Subcontract

Objective

To approve and sign a subcontract after awarding a winning bid.

Background

Because subcontracts are legally enforceable, collecting the appropriate signatures on the project's subcontracts is recommended. Procore clients can choose between two methods for managing the signature process:

Wet Signature. If the project team decides to collect physical signatures on their subcontracts, collaborators will use the Steps below.
Electronic Signature. If the project team decides to collect digital signatures using the the Procore + DocuSign® integration, see Complete a Commitment Contract with DocuSign®.

Things to Consider

Required User Permissions:
- None
Additional Information:
- This article details steps that are completed outside of Procore.

Important

If the contract's creator is using the Procore + DocuSign^® integration, you may be asked to digitally sign the contract instead of using the steps below. Collaborators who are asked to sign a contract are responsible for confirming the proper signature requirements with the contract's creator.
