Contract Managers are increasingly expected to do more with less. So how can you deliver the value your organisation expects and deserves with diminishing resources? How do you maintain a good working relationship with your suppliers in the light of competing priorities?

Many organisations enter in supplier arrangements to find that promises are not met and service standards are not delivered. This can result in increased costs, unhappy end users and difficult supplier relationships.

The genesis of this issue is often at the contract development and negotiation stages of the process. Every contractual task or obligation you give a supplier has a corresponding task or action on your organisation, even if only to check satisfactory performance of the task.

Identification of your organisations role in the arrangement and ensuring the appropriate structure and skills in the retained organisation is critical to effective management of supplier arrangements.

Our Operational Readiness Assessment maps tasks your organisation must perform for the efficient operation of your supplier arrangements. We can advise on appropriate skills, resourcing and governance arrangements to maximise the value from your contracts, while minimising management overhead.
