Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.Successful sourcing relationships are based on careful and detailed preparation before the contract is signed. Both parties need a clear understanding of the type of relationship desired. Sourcing contracts can consist of anything from a brief document with a price list attached, to hundreds of pages of legal documentation, terms, schedules, and flow charts. Initiating and managing contracts can be a complex process that requires a thorough understanding of specific planning and procurement activities. As such, contract management is a systematic process in the purchasing and selling of services and products that involves specific phases and associated activities, including: Planning and Procurement, Award and Implementation. This course will demonstrate the process and provide guidance to developing truly effective tenders that make for better vendor evaluation and selection and facilitate contract and risk management. Participants will gain knowledge and experience on how to apply concepts of tendering and technical tender evaluation in a manner that follows international best practice and be aware of the kind of tools appropriate for the task. The course will help companies award the right contracts to the best contractors. Contracting involves many roles that must work together to negotiate, document, and ensure a reliable supply of goods and services for capital projects and ongoing operations. Everyone involved in contracting with suppliers and service providers must understand the entire process, the keys to success, and what is required of their role if contracts are to be effective in managing supply risks. The course will cover the contract management process; the formation, effective, structure and types of contracts; the main contract clauses and issues; the risk analysis and management, the pre-contract risk, financial risk, technical risk and the risk related terms and conditions; minimizing and transferring risks; the contract management and tendering; developing the tender; the important elements of the contract; and selecting contractors and tender evaluation.
