You cannot parametrize the WebElement which was denoted by @FindBy annotation. @FindBy annotation purpose is to initialize the elements while initializing the class as part of PageFactory. You need to do something like below,

Call this below into your method.

WebElement element = createWebElement("//*[@class='example-radio-button mat-radio-button mat-accent'][@value="+txt+"]");

Keep the below reusable method in Utility.

public static WebElement createWebElement(String elementText) {
    WebElement element = null;
    try {
        WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
        wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath(elementText)));
        element = driver.findElement(By.xpath(elementText));
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Exception occurred: " + e);
    }
    return element;
}

Keep

WebElement element = createWebElement("//*[@class='example-radio-button mat-radio-button mat-accent'][@value="+txt+"]");

inside selectContractType() method and assign some value to String txt;

Well for such cases, I would suggest you to make use of Format Specifier.

For example:

String txt = "someValue";
String radioButtonLocator = String.format("//*[@class='example-radio-button mat-radio-button mat-accent' and @value='%s']", txt);
WebElement radioButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath(radioButtonLocator));

Is this what you are looking for?

@FindBy(xpath="//*[@class='example-radio-button mat-radio-button mat-accent'][@value="+txt+"]")

This should work if you want to pass txt string to @value.
