Description

Contract management and performance are at the heart of public procurement, with legally-enforceable contracts fulfilling the needs of our entities, our stakeholders, and our communities at large. As such, public procurement professionals must be able not only to draft and finalize a contractually-binding agreement but also to manage all parties and stakeholders, ensuring that the obligations of both the contractor and entity are fulfilled throughout the life of the contract.


Objectives

In order to successfully earn a digital badge, learners must:

  • Describe the activities involved in contract formation.
  • Explain the responsibilities of Contract Administration Team members.
  • Determine which terms and conditions should be included in a contract.
  • Identify the correct contract plans for reporting, delivery, price, inspection, invoicing, and payment for procurement scenarios.
  • Verify whether a contract should be modified or terminated.
  • Describe the appropriate terms and conditions for risk mitigation purposes.
  • Identify inclusions for a Contract Administration Plan and Performance Assessment Plan.
  • Establish best practices for contract execution activities.
  • Determine the appropriate action for inadequate contractor performance.

Intended Audience

This course is targeted to individuals who meet or exceed the following professional demographics: 

  • Mid-level public procurement and central warehouse professionals who serve as senior buyers, managers, directors, or equivalent functions within their respective entities.  
     
  • Non-procurement managers and supervisors who either provide procurement functions that support entity programs under delegated authority, or who already have a good understanding of basic procurement principles but wish to get more in-depth, hands-on training.  
     
  •  Professionals who are employed by local governing entities and special authorities (such as K-12 and higher education, publicly owned utilities, transportation providers, and other publicly funded or created entities) who either serve within or manage the procurement function.
     
  • Supplier managers and supervisors seeking to understand the public procurement function from a more in-depth holistic level, including the policies, standards, and procedures by which public entities must function.
