Contract management is a public outcome discipline
The programme refreshes core skills and guidance while challenging participants to work differently with risk, performance, evidence, providers and stakeholders.
Facilitators and contributors have experience on both sides of contracts. That matters because the formal contract never contains the whole relationship or the full set of practical constraints.
Typical territory
- Risk and stakeholder co-design.
- Bid evaluation and mobilisation.
- Negotiation and relationship management.
- Performance measures and difficult conversations.
- Value for money, social value and outcomes.
- Evidence for future decisions.
- Building a continuing community of practice.
Sessions are practical and applied. A longer final session gives participants space to demonstrate and use what they have learned rather than simply recall it.
