Renewal Prep Checklist – Strategic Procurement Edition

Don’t let your next renewal become a panic attack in Outlook.

This isn't a checklist. It's a pre-renewal survival kit built by someone who’s been cornered at T–5 days with no redlines, no leverage, and a vendor grinning on the other side of the Zoom.

Inside, you’ll get:

• A realistic renewal timeline with key milestones at 180, 150, 120 days (not that fantasy-world 90-day “notice”)
• A stakeholder map that decodes blind spots from legal, security, finance, and the infamous “we love them!” business owner
• The “Don’t Get Screwed” contract audit guide — with uplifts, audit clauses, silent auto-renewals, and bundling traps
• Competitive intel prompts, support history deep dives, vendor probing questions, and negotiation triggers that actually sting
• A post-renewal wrap process that helps you sleep at night (and prep for the next one)

Bonus traps list: Hidden clauses, CPI uplifts with a floor, SKUs that mysteriously shrink… you’ve probably been hit before.

Who’s this for?

• IT Procurement professionals handling infrastructure, SaaS, or service renewals
• Vendor managers who’ve had enough of PowerPoint promises
• Category managers working without clean usage data (again)
• Anyone who needs a structured, repeatable renewal process that doesn’t rely on panic and prayer

🔍 Why it works:
Backed by real enterprise-level battle scars. Fueled by IDC/Gartner sanity checks. Made for people who negotiate while juggling 5 vendors, 3 stakeholders, and 1 legal team on PTO.
