What happens depends on the contract and supplier — many agreements contain automatic renewal provisions, transition pricing, or other terms that kick in after the original period, so expiration rarely just means "the contract ends and nothing changes." To avoid this altogether, see what to review before you renew.
Before expiration, check:
The exact contract end date
Renewal provisions
Notice requirements
The proposed renewal rate
The new contract term
What happens if you do nothing
The easiest way to avoid surprises
Know your expiration date and review your options before you reach it. If your contract hasn't expired yet, see what to do if yours is about to expire.
