Question

The vendor agreement's first draft is generally created by the vendor. By having the vendor also create the second draft, the HCO allows the agreement to move closer to the HCO's positions and desires before the HCO starts putting its own language in. Generally the HCO should write the third draft, as draft-writing is a mutual process with shared control.
