Last minute places have just opened up on our Contract Management course, launching 7 February 2023!
What is the course? An opportunity for those involved in contract management to refresh their skills, build on their existing knowledge and expertise and refamiliarize themselves with key documents and guidance.
Who is is for? This programme is useful to those who want to understand more about contract management as well as those who specialise in contract management.
What does it cover? It is led by subject matter experts that take participants through the different stages of the contracting lifecycle homing in on various themes, challenges and opportunities. By the end of the programme participants should have a thorough understanding of contract management, the different component parts, and be clear about the approach taken in their own organisation and wider system as well as opportunities for improvement/change.
Format: Seven 2 hours sessions plus a half day summary session
Feedback from recent participants:
“The contract management course has helped to both refresh my current knowledge around contract management as well as challenge me to think more critically about how we currently approach contract management and how this could be enhanced in the future. It has been a useful and enjoyable course with the opportunity to network which provided additional benefits.” Notts OPCC
“The course was very useful for people at all levels of commissioning and contract management experience. I have many years of contract management experience and not only were there new methods of thinking that were introduced, but there were times during the course where good working methods that were already being utilised were confirmed. In addition this, I think it’s always good to network with others from different organisations and when embarking on a course together, if we all learn and understand good working contract management principles and ways of working then that can only lead to better working relationships when it comes to future contract management. “ Humberside OPCC
