For Contribution Agreements using the paper workflow and signature (QES/Blue ink), the processes involved are similar (as illustrated below), except that no LEAR and legal and financial signatories need to be nominated in the system by the Organisation, as the signature of the Contribution Agreement will be performed outside of OPSYS. However, and during the negotiation stage (i.e. before the preparation of the contract), the representative of the Organisation will need to communicate the details of the PCoCo to the Contracting Authority. The PCoCo is responsible for all aspects relating to the management of the contract (once signed), including contract deliverables and amendments (if applicable), through the Funding and Tenders Portal.
