Conclude contract (6)

I believe the answer is:

gather

I believe this is a double definition.

'conclude' is the first definition.
(gathering is a kind of concluding)

'contract' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for gather that I've seen before include "Assemble; understand" , "Assemble or glean" , "Bring or assemble together" , "put in pleats" , "Collect or come together" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
