The preparation and management of procurement contracts presents operational risks that should be handled professionally to ensure value for money. The objective of this training on Managing Contracts for Goods, Works, and Services is to impart practical skills in contracts management.
The practical training enables practitioners across disciplines to improve their skills in preparing contracts; negotiation of contracts; formation of different types of contracts; framework contracting and agreements; leasing; price index and adjustment formula; changes in contract price; contract delivery; monitoring securities and insurance, control of time, quality, and cost; managing claims and disputes; invoicing and payments; performance indicators; contract finishing and close out.
The training is suitable for all organization staff handling contracts across functional disciplines and user departments, including procurement and supply staff. We will deliver the training using short PowerPoint presentations, group exercises, individual quizzes, and role-plays focused on the practical application at work.
