Module Description

This module explores in detail what a contract does (and does not) require each party to do to ensure that projects deliver outcomes that are client-focused, contractually appropriate and organisationally relevant.   

It covers key aspects relating to procurement as well as financial criteria, including financial justification, payback and return on capital employed. 

You will learn how to build a robust procurement strategy, involving the scope of a contract and what its terms should define, as well as contract planning and the number/types of contracts you should have. The module will also explore risk allocation policy and delve into supply, delivery and payment chains.
