Course Overview
Once a contract has been awarded – particularly in capital projects, such as construction – how do you ensure that what you contracted for is what gets delivered? How do you monitor a service provider’s performance or a vendor’s product delivery to ensure timely and high quality results? How do you make sure that if your requirements change, that the financial, quality and schedule impacts of change are acceptable?
All employees involved in the contracting process need to be able to deploy best practices in post-award contract administration to enable their organisations to get the full benefit from procurement activity.
Included in this fast paced Contracts Administration training course to show renewed emphasis on this critical phase of contract management are:
- Effective Contract Administration

Organisational Impact
With the ever-increasing dependency on contractors to carry out functions that might previously have been done inhouse, Contract Administration is emerging as an essential competency for many professionals and managers. This is the case in building projects or in other functional activities involving the acquisition of goods, equipment and services. This MHMMD training course is designed to take the participant through the many steps of contract administration from the time the award is made through to final acceptance, payment, and the contract close out so that the total objectives of entering into the contract are achieved.
