It is important that you know who is responsible for key contract management activities and that you allocate appropriate resourcing to the contract.
Key steps in this activity include: | |
a. | Review the contract to identify who the nominated Commonwealth and supplier representatives are under the contract and what responsibilities they have. |
b. | Agree roles and responsibilities of contract management team. |
c. | Document appropriate delegates and authorised officers consistent with the contract terms. |
d. | Confirm the account manager, operations manager, authorised officer etc. for the supplier. |
e. | Confirm specialist advisers (procurement, legal, technical, operational). |
f. | Identify stakeholders and end-users. Who is going to accept/own the goods or services? |
g. | Determine whether any training or other capability development is required for key people to be able to perform their contract management roles (this may have been done in Phase 0). |
h. | Include relevant information in your contract management plan (see step 0.1). |
