Post Contract Award Management Training

At a time when contracts are becoming increasingly complex, effective management of contract creation and implementation can maximise operational and financial performance, and minimise risk. These practical courses provide best practice and in-depth guidance in balancing costs against risks, actively managing supply chain relationships, and handling challenges that typically arise during the life of a contract.

From pre-award to final closeout, you will learn tools and techniques for managing contract risk, effective performance management, change management, claims negotiation and dispute resolution. Enhancing or developing your skills as a contract manager or negotiator can help not only minimise risk and increase profit for your organisation, but can also set the foundation for long and mutually beneficial relationships with other parties in the supply chain.

Contracts influence the profitability of the business in a very large way as it directly relates to the revenue and expenses of the organisation. Effective contract management is very important in ensuring that both the parties fulfil the commercial contract terms
