LEXSPHERE POST-AWARD · CONTRACT EXECUTION & OBLIGATION MANAGEMENT
Pre-award review tells you what you're signing. Post-award tells you what to do next, every day, until the contract is closed out. A signed contract becomes a live obligation register, a deadline calendar, a bonds tracker and an evidence trail.
Download the product overview (PDF)Pre-award review gets attention. Execution doesn't. The contract is filed, the team moves on, and the next person to read it is doing so because a deadline was missed, a bond lapsed, a milestone slipped, or the counterparty wants to claim. The margin protected at pre-award leaks back out afterwards, quietly, until the close-out account makes it obvious.
Twenty to thirty duties per contract, yours and theirs, buried in a PDF nobody opens after day one.
Time-bars are absolute. Miss the 28-day window and the claim is gone.
The renewal cascade isn't tracked, so a gap in cover gets discovered after an event rather than before one.
Every duty under the contract, split between what you owe and what they owe you, across 21 live post-award registers. Each entry carries its evidence trail, sign-off gates and a hash-chained history.
Every time-bar in the contract, classified by what you actually have to do when it fires: send a notice, chase the supplier, or respond. Alerts cascade at T-14, T-7, T-3 and on the day.
Contract-specific risks scored 1 to 25 with mitigations: FX exposure, LD ceilings, off-spec penalties, sanctions exposure, take-or-pay.
Performance bonds, advance-payment guarantees, PCGs, PI, public liability, marine cargo, motor and EIL, with expiry cascades at T-90, T-30, T-7, day-of and lapsed.
Baseline and revised dates with critical-path flagging, and automatic detection of what's at risk, slipping or overdue, synced against progress evidence.
FX rates, commodity indices, LTIFR thresholds and any other measurable trigger the contract depends on, watched against the levels where the contract becomes re-negotiable.
Trained on real signed contracts in each family, so it recognises sub-clauses, schedules, particular conditions, side letters and amendments. It sits downstream of Pre-Award but doesn't require it: any signed PDF or DOCX bootstraps the full management surface.

Confirm the extraction is right, then sign off the deadline calendar before any alerts go live.
Every risk scoring 7 or above needs a decision: accept, mitigate, transfer or escalate. Outbound notices are approved with the full draft in front of you.
All five causation links have to hold, from event through effect, entitlement and evidence to quantum, and weak claims are rejected. Material variations need Commercial Director sign-off.
Sign the final account, move to permanent archive and seal the records. A second sign-off is required before anything goes to the counterparty.
What needs attention right now, in plain English. "Chase counterparty for Performance Bond Delivery, 3 days to deadline", with one click through to the right tab.
Where the supplier owes you something, a single button drafts the formal demand: right tone, right contact, right clause. It lands in your outbox awaiting sign-off rather than going out on its own.
When the supplier replies, the system reads the inbound letter, recognises it as a response, and offers to mark the obligation satisfied. One click closes it with the audit chain intact.
Ask what the renewal deadline is, which bonds are active, or whether you can claim under clause 20.1, and get an answer cited to the clause.
PDF or DOCX. In about four minutes you get a live dashboard: twenty to thirty obligations split between yours and theirs, ten to fifteen contract-specific risks scored and ranked, every notice deadline catalogued with its cascade, five to ten bonds and insurances tracked to expiry, and a today view that says what to do first. Email is built in, so chase notices, replies and inbound correspondence flow back on their own.
Every deadline in one place, managed.
Role-based access control, GDPR-aware, on Asterion's infrastructure.
Where the data has to stay in your own cloud, it deploys into your account.
Every action, gate decision, evidence upload and notice, hash-chained and exportable for legal proceedings.
