Contract pricing lets you request indicative pricing directly from suppliers based on your expected annual volume, with no final commitment. This gives procurement teams early visibility into potential price breaks and pricing structures before locking in decisions or entering formal negotiations.
Once submitted, suppliers review your volume assumptions and respond with terms that both R&D and procurement can use for internal planning, budgeting and approval.

No. Requesting contract pricing is strictly exploratory and obligation-free. It gives you visibility into possible pricing tiers and commercial terms without binding commitments.
Contracts only become effective once both you and the supplier agree to the terms in writing. This separation between exploratory pricing and commitment helps teams align internally first.
→ Read more about how this works on our Contract Pricing page.
