Contract management is a multifaceted process encompassing:
The primary aim of contract management is to ensure all involved parties fulfill their contractual obligations, leading to the achievement of the contract's objectives. Effective contract management plays a pivotal role in risk reduction, cost savings, and the overall enhancement of contract performance.
After a contract is mutually agreed upon and signed, it requires continuous monitoring to guarantee compliance from all parties. This oversight involves tracking performance, upholding deadlines, and addressing emerging issues. Occasionally, adjustments to the contract become necessary during the implementation phase due to changing circumstances or unforeseen challenges. In such cases, contract management pivots towards identifying the essential modifications and negotiating these changes with the involved parties.
