Course Objectives

The contract is executed or the purchase order is signed, so you are done.  Right?  Probably not!  Contract administration is as important in completing the Purchasing Cycle, solicitation development, contractor selection, contract close-out, or disposal.  Poor contract administration can result in significant dollar loss, project delay, and disputes or legal action.  Contract administration within the public sector is complex.  It involves planning, monitoring, and proactive insight into the oversight of contract performance. 

Course Outline

This Webinar will:

·         Teach the different methods of contract administration

·         Show how to plan to administer the contract

·         Provide ways on how to monitor and record the success of the contract and the contractor
