Post Award Contract Administration Excellence Course

Training Outlines

Introduction

Contract value is realised after award, when obligations, deliverables, interfaces and commercial decisions must be controlled under operational pressure. Weak mobilisation, incomplete records, informal instructions and delayed escalation can quickly undermine performance and contractual rights.

This course provides a disciplined post-award administration framework from handover through closeout. Participants will coordinate governance, monitor performance, manage changes and payments, maintain defensible records and intervene early when risk or non-compliance emerges.

Translate contract obligations into accountable action plans
Monitor deliverables, milestones and service performance
Administer payment, security and commercial provisions accurately
Control instructions, changes and variations procedurally
