Price: £195.00 (ex VAT)

In the constant ebb and flow of change across procurement, from the regulations to guidance to procurement policy, Contract Management remains the one constant.

 

Contract Management is the fulcrum on which change management, risk management, project management, demand management and category management rest.

 

Yet the key to a good robust contract management process is built on three key foundations, service delivery management, supplier relationships and contract administration.

 

Once enabled it can lead to continuous improvement, efficiency savings, greater knowledge on supplier performance and better relationships with suppliers and end users.

 

Undertaken correctly, contract management will ensure that you keep control of your contracts and only pay for what you ask for, by ensuring that service levels and KPIs are being met and risk is being managed.
