Project managers, vendor managers and other professionals involved in the world of contracts must be able to work effectively with customers, contractors and subcontractors to accomplish key organisational objectives. Because contracts are developed in an increasingly complex environment, including the rising use of “contracted suppliers and services” throughout government and industry, a solid understanding of the contracting and management process is critical and can give an advantage, irrespective of whether you are a buyer or a seller.

Effective contract and vendor management skills can ensure project success, speed performance, and reduce risks and cost along the way. Discover the keys to vendor and contract management from your own perspective in this practical course.
