After obtaining appropriate resources, and collecting and analysing relevant information, contract directors should proceed to develop and implement the necessary contract management tools and processes.
These processes and tools should be collated in a contract administration manual. It may be appropriate to document some of the tools and processes separately from the contract administration manual. For example, certain contract management processes may be contained in documents that apply across the government party, rather than applying specifically to the individual project deed. If this is the case, an up-to-date copy of the separately document should be available to the contract management team.
The contract administration manual and the performance reports produced by both the private party and the government party over the life of the project are key documents for the project.
