Course Overview

Successful sourcing relationships are based on careful and detailed preparation before the contract is signed. Both parties need a clear understanding of the type of relationship desired. Sourcing contracts can consist of anything from a brief document with a price list attached, to hundreds of pages of legal documentation, terms, schedules, and flow charts. Initiating and managing contracts can be a complex process that requires a thorough understanding of specific planning and procurement activities. As such, contract management is a systematic process in the purchasing and selling of services and products that involves specific phases and associated activities, including: Planning and Procurement, Award and Implementation.

The right Contract Strategy is the primary factor in determining contractor performance. It defines the way work will be allocated among contractors, the type of contractors to use, form of contracts (e.g.., lump sum or reimbursable cost), the allocation of risks, and how benefits or incentives will be used. The optimum contract strategy is unique to each project, and must reflect cost and savings objectives, the level of scope definition, prevailing market conditions, technology involved to be managed, location, specialized skills and services required, and the allocation of responsibilities between owner and contractor.
