Certificate of Insurance Delivery

What this clause says

Manufacturer shall provide Sponsor with a Certificate of Insurance evidencing all required coverages prior to commencement of work, and updated certificates upon renewal.

What this means in plain English

You have to give the sponsor a certificate proving you have the required insurance.

What it means for a CDMO program

Mechanical compliance — your broker handles this. Set up an automated COI delivery for renewals so they are not forgotten. The risk is operational: an expired COI on file can trigger automatic stop-work clauses in the MSA.

Questions about compliance

Certificate of Insurance Delivery — common questions

How quickly does a sponsor expect the COI?

+

Most MSAs require COI delivery before work begins, with ongoing renewal COIs at least 10 business days before each policy expiration. Some require 30 days advance notice.

Who issues the COI?

+

Your insurance broker or agent. For frequent sponsor onboarding, set up a templated workflow with your broker to cut COI turnaround to same-day for new sponsor adds.

What goes on the COI?

+

Carrier names and ratings, all coverages required by the MSA with limits, additional insured wording, primary/non-contributory, waiver of subrogation, and the cancellation notice clause. Verify against the MSA exact language — generic ACORD form COIs can miss MSA-specific endorsements.
