Compliance ensures the project meets the requirements of laws, regulations, and government policy beyond those specifically addressed in the contract. |
The government party may also develop a contract compliance program to manage and monitor compliance with legislative or government policy requirements. This may be as part of a broader service delivery framework, particularly if there are multiple projects under active management.
A compliance program helps the government party to identify, document and manage compliance risk throughout the project lifecycle. It may be appropriate to prepare a document outlining the compliance program and compliance procedures. This will form part of the contract administration manual.
