A new PSTA programme, launching soon!
The Contract Management Development Programme is an opportunity for those involved in contract management to refresh their skills, build on their existing knowledge and expertise and refamiliarize themselves with their organisation’s key documents and guidance. The aim is to deepen learning and understanding around contract management and to support and challenge participants to work in new ways to deliver outcomes. This programme will expand on the Commissioning Academy and previous training to build understanding, capacity, capability and confidence on and around contract management, ultimately to improve outcomes for citizens, VFM, social value, and provide a stronger evidence base for future decision making.
The programme consists of a series of nine 2 hour development sessions led by subject matter experts that take participants through the different stages of the contracting lifecycle homing in on various themes, challenges and opportunities. The programme will conclude with an extended experiential session where participants will get the opportunity to demonstrate and apply their learning. By the end of the programme participants should have a thorough understanding of contract management and its different component parts and be clear about the approach taken in their own organisation as well as opportunities for improvement/change.
This is a whole programme so wherever possible participants should attend all sessions. Delivery will be virtual via TEAMS and links to any additional material provided.

- Development of a community of practice around contract management
- Greater clarity on how contract management works and will evolve – key documents, etc and how they should be used
- Better understanding of what is possible and confidence to do things differently and to challenge and support others to do things differently
