CLSIGN

As introducted in the previous section, Legal Signatories (LSIGN and Procurement LSIGN) are nominated for an organisation by the LEAR or an Account Administrator:

  • LSIGN for Grants;
  • Procurement LSIGN for Procurement Contracts, Specific Contracts under Framework Contracts, or Contribution Agreements

Legal Signatories have the right to sign contracts and amendments managed through the Funding and Tenders Portal on behalf of the organisation, so their role is relevent at organisation and project-level.

An organisation can have

an unlimited number of Legal Signatories.

For Procurement Contracts, Specific Contracts under Framework Contracts, or Contribution Agreements:

  • If the orgaisation would need to restrict the signatory role for contracts and amendments, the Procurement LSIGN can nominate a CLSIGN to the contract (project-level). The LEAR or Account Administrator of the organisation would therefore first need to appoint the Procurement LSIGN role to a user of the organisation beforehand (organisation-level).
  • If CLSIGN(s) are nominated for a contract, Procurement LSIGN(s) will no longer be able to sign the contract (and amendements – if relevant).
  • If no CLSIGN(s) are nominated for a contract, then all Procurement LSIGNs for the organisation will receive notifications for the contract (and amendements – if relevant).
  • Only and any Procurement LSIGN of an organisation can nominate or revoke the CLSIGN user role.
Note

CLSIGNS

Once appointed by the LEAR of the organisation as LSIGNs, PLSIGNs are nominated for a particular project by a Coordinator Contact (CoCo or PCoCo) of the project.

PLSIGNs can only be revoked by the Coordinator Contact (CoCo or PCoCo) of the project.

PLSIGNS have the same permissions as the Coordinator Contacts (CoCos and PCoCos) for contract information (view and edit), but they cannot assign or revoke any roles.
