An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Contracts Administration
From Award to Completion
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
Once a contract has been awarded – particularly in capital projects, such as construction – how do you ensure that what you contracted for is what gets delivered? How do you monitor a service provider’s performance or a vendor’s product delivery to ensure timely and high quality results? How do you make sure that if your requirements change, that the financial, quality and schedule impacts of change are acceptable?
