Training

Personnel involved in contract management must be adequately trained to effectively and competently carry out their roles and responsibilities. Inexperienced personnel represent a significant risk to effective contract management, public sector accountability and successful project outcomes.

DTF has established a formal training program to provide contract directors and contract management team members with relevant skills. It is expected that the government party will supplement this training with ongoing training for skill development, including:

•  project and time management;

•  negotiation and communication skills;

•  probity and compliance;

•  dispute and issue management; and

•  relevant computer software.
