UW-Platteville Negotiation & Contract Guidelines

Purpose: To simplify negotiation procedures and process performance contracts for official UW-Platteville signature(s). Contracts should be completed 6 weeks in advance of the event.

Step 1.

Determine the type of payment agreement (if any) that is required.

Step 2. Call #1 to the artist

Step 3.

Step 4.

  1. As the event planner, tell the artist or agent you are UW-Platteville’s representative and are requesting information for the UW-Platteville negotiation worksheet, which in turn will be used to generate an official UW-Platteville contract.
  2. Fill out on-line negotiation worksheet as thoroughly as possible while talking to agency, artist or speaker during your second call.
  3. Electronically “Submit” the completed negotiation worksheet to the Programming & Special Events Coordinator for review and approval.

Here’s what happens next…

When the worksheet is received, we create a contract folder; generate the official UW-Platteville contract by entering your data in the Contract Tracking database, and follow-up with all information submitted.

The Contract is mailed to the artist, agency or speaker.

When the contract is returned with artist/agency signatures, a purchase requisition is prepared and both are approved by UW-Platteville officials.

The Accounts Payable Office notifies the PIC when the check is ready to be picked up by the PIC staff. The check will placed in the Safe at the Markee Pioneer Student Center - Info Center by the event date or mailed to the appropriate party following the event.

You will be informed several times regarding the progress of the contract.
