A Source Contract is an agreement established between a buyer and supplier during the sourcing process. It defines the terms and conditions under which goods or services are procured, including pricing, delivery schedules, quality standards, and payment terms. In procurement and supply chain management, source contracts help streamline purchasing processes by providing clarity and setting expectations for both parties.
