The CPO-GS may successfully negotiate State of Illinois master contracts with these awarded vendors, which result in multiple cooperative master contracts. A master service agreement (MSA) is a fundamental contract outlining the scope of the relationship between two parties.The Master Agreement will include provisions for energy costs and define which agency is to provide the necessary maintenance. These agreements can range from a simple grant to a more complex contract with restrictive terms and conditions, as well as many non-funded agreements. The Parties to this contract are the State of Illinois acting through the undersigned Agency (collectively the State) and the Vendor. Each Signatory ofthe Master Agreement will need to fill out the 7600A in order to be the Requesting Agency. Below is a list of forms and information that may be required to complete a Request for Proposal Response. Failure to comply with this provision shall result in the complete loss of seniority rights and job for the employees involved. If litigation should arise from this contract, the laws of the State of Illinois will apply. A master agreement can be used to set out standard terms and conditions so that any new agreements don't need to cover the same information again.
