Value leaks from contracts in the gaps: between procurement and drafting, between signature and supplier performance, between a variation and its cost. The contract sits at the core of every commercial transaction, and the best organisations treat its management as a competency that shows up in profit and productivity. This masterclass covers the full contract management life-cycle — defining and developing the right contract, analysing contract risks and their impacts, measuring supplier performance, negotiating effectively, and managing changes, variations and extensions through to dispute resolution, termination and professional close-out. Price and cost analysis, and the pricing models used in preparing proposals, round out the commercial toolkit.
