Delegated Contract and Oversight Manager
Supporting coverholder onboarding, facility placement and binder registration
Delegated Contract and Oversight Manager (DCOM) is a new platform that will allow users to create and register binding authority contracts, and provide an end-to-end compliance check for new and existing Coverholders and DCAs.
It is being developed in partnership with the market to make it easier, faster and more cost-effective to do Delegated Authority business. We are targeting the end of June 2021 for market wide adoption of the contract management functionality.

Delegated Contract Manager will allow all parties to collaborate in real time on a contract, showing amendments by the contract creator at the request of the leader.
