A project risk register is usually established by the procurement team during earlier stages of the project. It is incumbent upon the contract management team to review the risk register upon transfer of contract management responsibilities, prior to the service delivery phase and to update the projects list of risks, their relative importance and any mitigation that have been used to manage each risk.
The risk register should be reviewed regularly and fully updated on an annual basis. Its use should be integrated with the government party's broader risk management framework.
