Appendix H  Contract Management Guidance

This section outlines the nature and function of contract management and critical elements for a successful result. The purpose of this section is to provide:

•  general guidance for the government party's management of a PPP contract through the lifecycle of a project - to help achieve project objectives incorporating balanced long-term value for money outcomes; and

•  direction for the procurement team involved in developing a PPP project - to enable them to address and support the principles of effective contract management in the executed contract for the project.

The underlying principles in this section should be considered 'best practice' at the time of publication. They may also be useful in the management of non-PPP long‑term service contracts by government departments and agencies.
