The agreement gives SOCAR the right to obtain a license to use Coreworx Contract Management software, which is the Canadian company's own solution.

Coreworx Contract Management software will enable SOCAR to manage project contracts and associated risks from the planning stage to the project closure.

According to Egbert Wijnen-Riems, Procurement and Supply Chain Group Director at SOCAR Turkey, contracts are the basis for commercial success of any project.

"The project-specific solution Coreworx provides will help ensure our team members are compliant with our contract policies and commitments, and also provide us with a higher-level of insight to manage contract-related risk," said Wijnen-Riems.

In turn, John Gillberry, Coreworx CEO, stated, "We look forward to working with SOCAR and are focused on contributing to their commercial success.

"Our end-to-end contract solution provides management of project contracts from pre-award through post-award. In doing so, it will provide SOCAR with greater control and insight into their projects, and significant improvements in risk assessment and management," said Gillberry.
