Create a centralized contract database that houses all active contracts within your portfolio. Ensure that each contract record includes essential metadata such as [contract type], [contract owner], [renewal date], and [value]. Incorporate search functionality to filter by key terms like [vendor performance], [contract status], or [geographical region]. Implement a version control system to track any amendments or renewals made to the contracts. Set up automated reminders for critical dates like [renewal deadlines] or [performance reviews], ensuring no key milestones are missed.
