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.

Fellow Procurement Adventurers®
I want to help put procurement firmly back at the centre of businesses and showcase some of the amazing results we can achieve. The rationale for the Procurement Adventurer Series is to:
-
Raise the profile of procurement and demonstrate the amazing value it can bring a business.
-
Help give procurement professionals top tips and ideas for how they can get the most out of their procurement careers.
-
Attract new people to procurement who are currently working in other roles.
-
Share ideas for how procurement can transition from the past to the future.
Procurement Adventurers may or may not travel to far flung places. But a couple of thing are for sure: they’re passionate about procurement and they are experts in their field.
