Contract Management
Effective contract management is a combination of actionable steps that will help the University improve outcomes and realise maximum value from agreements. It can be divided into three activities;
• Service Delivery: Ensuring service is delivered with agreed performance and quality levels;
• Supplier Relationship: Developing and maintaining an open and constructive relationship;
• Contract Administration: Formal management of the contract.
These activities will improve efficiency, ensure value for money and reduce risk.
Contract management toolkit and supporting guidance
A toolkit and guidance has been produced to help colleagues who are responsible for managing supplier relationships and contracts. It is intended to be accessible to colleagues who have not had professional training in this area, but who have responsibility for managing a contract with a supplier as part of their role.
