Who this template is for
Contract Change Request Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in contracts & agreements.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 33 questions across 4 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 21 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 5 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

About this template
Uncontrolled change is how a profitable contract turns into a loss-making one. This form makes every variation an explicit, priced, approved decision. The request starts with the contract it amends — reference, current version, client and the contract owner — so the change can never be applied to the wrong agreement. The change itself is described in three parts that are deliberately separated: what is changing, why it is needed, and what happens if it is not made, because the last of those is what justifies the cost. Impact is captured as structured data rather than opinion: the cost impact and its direction, the effect on the schedule in days, whether the delivery date moves, and whether any service levels, resources or dependencies change. A risk question flags anything the change introduces, and a follow-up appears when the requester marks the risk as high. The commercial route is recorded — absorbed, chargeable or credited — with a required value whenever money moves. Approvals are captured in sequence with named approvers, a decision, conditions where they apply, and a signature. The result is a variation register you can actually reconcile against invoices.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as a change order?
Yes — it is the intake, pricing and approval record for a contract variation, whatever your organisation calls it.
Can I build a variation register from it?
Filter submissions by contract reference and every approved and rejected change for that agreement is listed in one view.
Does it force a price on every change?
No, but choosing chargeable makes the amount required, so nothing chargeable is approved without a number.
Can the client approve in the same form?
There are separate commercial and client approver questions, plus a signature and decision date.
