B2formal

Le sottopongo la nostra proposta di rinnovo contrattuale.

I am submitting to you our contract renewal proposal.

Pronunciation

'Sottopongo' = sot-to-PON-go; 'tt' shortens the preceding vowel.

When to use it

Use when presenting a contract renewal to an existing client, typically 30–90 days before the current contract expires.

What it means

'Sottoporre' (to submit/present for consideration) is a formal verb implying respectful deference to the other party's judgement. It is more elegant than 'le mando' (I'm sending you). 'Rinnovo contrattuale' is the standard term for contract renewal in Italian business.

Variations

Le proponiamo il rinnovo del contratto alle condizioni seguenti.

We propose the renewal of the contract on the following conditions.

More direct; starts with the offer

Il nostro contratto scade il [data]; desideriamo rinnovarlo.

Our contract expires on [date]; we wish to renew it.

States the expiry date clearly

In vista della scadenza contrattuale, le invio la nuova proposta.

In view of the contract expiry, I am sending you the new proposal.

References the upcoming deadline

Mini Dialogue

Gentile Direttore Poli, con l'avvicinarsi della scadenza del contratto il 30 giugno, le sottopongo la nostra proposta di rinnovo contrattuale.

Cultural Note

In Italy, many commercial contracts (especially for services and leases) renew automatically ('tacito rinnovo') unless one party gives formal written notice of cancellation within a specified period. Always check the contract terms.
