During the procurement process, a contracting authority puts a lot of time and effort into identifying reliable business partners and ensuring a strong basis for the award decision. Changing existing contracts may require a new contract award procedure. Hence, for an authority to ensure that contractual terms are realized in the execution phase, contract management is vital.

Since contracts are usually complex and set up for a long time frame, appropriate resources are necessary to ensure optimal control and to react to potential changes that might occur. Systematically managing your contracts can lead to significant cost savings and efficiency of your authority’s public procurement process.
