Why Contract Management is Important

This is a simple one.

The Commonwealth has spent time and money to enter into a contract with a supplier for the acquisition of goods or services (or both). It is now incumbent on the agency (enshrined in legislation) to ensure that it manages that spend with the supplier appropriately.

To do that the relevant agency needs to effectively manage the contract.

If you don’t you run the very real risk of being criticised by the ANAO. Go and have a look at the ANAO’s website and some of the audits into contract management.

Better yet download our guide to the ‘Perfect Procurement’ . We provide a consolidated list of all items raised by the ANAO when conducting audits into large scale procurements.

On that basis, the importance of effective contract management cannot be overestimated. Having someone dedicated to overseeing the whole contract management process ensures that contracts entered by the Commonwealth are strictly complied with.
