The contract management plan must be approved by the portfolio Minister, in consultation with the Treasurer within 60 days of financial close to inform government of the proposed contract management strategies.2
Assistance with the contract management planning process is available, on request, from the Partnerships Victoria group within DTF. Before submitting the government party's contract management plan to the portfolio Minister and the Treasurer, the government party should provide a copy to DTF so that it can review its consistency with this guide and best practices identified by DTF.
The Partnerships Victoria Requirements, state that the contract management plan must be updated and the contract administration manual (or equivalent tool) must be completed before the transition from the construction phase to the service delivery phase.
