Common use of Handover and Acceptance Clause in Contracts

Handover and Acceptance. The customer will make the determination of when transition is completed and will provide formal acceptance indicating such. To do this, the customer’s transition Project Manager will utilize the established transition checklist in order to determine that all activities associated with the transition have been completed. The customer’s transition PM will also meet with the transition PMs from each contractor to ensure that all concerns and issues have been met and addressed appropriately. Once the customer’s transition PM has formally accepted the transition, the checklist and supporting documentation will be signed and accepted by the customer’s project sponsors. The last step is the formal acceptance and signature of the customer’s contracting officer representative. It is only after all of these approvals and signatures are in place that the transition will be considered complete.
