Contract partner vs. contracting partner?

[Torsten]

Good evening everyone. Who can tell me the difference between 'contract partner' and 'contracting partner', please?

Thank you so much,

Good question..!

Contract is almost an agreement and so it is an instrument, an object. So it can be considered as a living thing..in the meaning of existence. But contracting is something virtual. Still it has not aquired the part or full life of an object.

Concludingly, in my opinion, contract partners are real whereas contracting partners are only virtual, they are yet to be real.

Better language..better future..!
