Training - Contract Management
Let’s be frank – contract management isn’t the most exciting aspect of procurement. After all, who likes paperwork and minutia? Most people don’t. For those in the earlier stage of their career understanding legal jargon can be daunting and negotiating the contract with the supplier, harder still. More experienced professionals might not have even been taught this core skill properly and, with a desire to focus on more exciting activities, try to steer clear of contracts whenever possible.
Robust contracts are a key tool to manage your suppliers and minimise risk. So, like them or loathe them, you need to be good at them. Following some simple steps and with a bit of practice, I’ll show you that contract management isn’t nearly as arduous as you might think.
If you’re a Head of Procurement or Procurement Director you might have different needs. Perhaps you’re unhappy with the low level of spend under contract, the poor accessibility of contracts or that the full contract value isn’t derived. As a Procurement Director I’ve had this challenge myself and have some god ideas of how to help you.

Procurement delivers incredible value to a business
but there are a number of fundamental issues...
Procurement is often at the behest of revenue generating functions like Sales & Marketing. Cost savings are seldom great enough. Products and materials will turn up if the business shouts loud enough. And as for sustainability – surely our suppliers can fix it for us? As a result of this, too many procurement teams feel over-whelmed and under appreciated.
The great news is that it doesn't need to be like this
