What this guide helps you evaluate
commercial property and facilities teams evaluating building operations and workplace services where asset data, service dispatch and measurable operating performance affect lifecycle cost. This renewal and contract checklist helps organize a decision about facility service dispatch platform.
This page is designed to help you compare the moving parts, organize due diligence and ask better questions before you commit money, sign a contract or change an operating process.
Define the business outcome, decision owner, expected term and the evidence needed to validate work request routing and technician dispatch.
Normalize work request routing and technician dispatch, priority sla and escalation workflow and cmms vendor integrations and licensing before comparing proposals or internal options.
Keep assumptions separate from verified facts and record the source, date and owner for material requirements.
What to compare first
- work request routing and technician dispatch
- priority SLA and escalation workflow
- CMMS vendor integrations and licensing
- asset and property scope
- service levels and operating responsibility
- implementation evidence and lifecycle economics
Step-by-step process
- 01
Record renewal, notice, termination, price-change and evidence deadlines from the signed agreement.
- 02
Compare actual performance and usage against the original assumptions for work request routing and technician dispatch, priority sla and escalation workflow, cmms vendor integrations and licensing.
- 03
Reconcile invoices, service issues, credits, commitments and unresolved obligations.
- 04
Benchmark current economics and identify terms that need repricing, clarification or risk reallocation.
- 05
Document the renew, renegotiate or exit decision before contractual notice windows expire.
Common mistakes and risk checks
- buying technology without reliable asset data
- underestimating field adoption and integration
- failing to define service acceptance and escalation
- Treating a renewal and contract checklist as a substitute for signed agreements, current official rules or qualified professional review.
Documents and evidence to collect
- building asset and vendor inventory
- maintenance utility and occupancy history
- site standards and integration requirements
- provider proposal and implementation schedule
Questions to ask before approval
- How is work request routing and technician dispatch defined, measured and evidenced?
- What changes if priority sla and escalation workflow is higher or lower than the base case?
- Which fees, exclusions, implementation tasks or operating duties sit outside cmms vendor integrations and licensing?
