Contract Management

Contract Management

Once a contract is awarded, our contract management professionals are expertly trained in contract compliance, contract communications, vendor audits and evaluations, and contract specialist administration. Many of our experts have been government contracting officers (COs) or trained as contracting officer technical representatives (COTRs). This provides special advantages to our clients as we have been in their seat at one time or another. The administration of an active contract requires a heads up mentality that sets a path for success to all contract participants. This includes a detailed contract kick off meeting to lay out requirements and common pitfalls, but also to show a partnering spirit with vendors and project staff alike. Diligent record keeping is an absolute as is formal milestone notifications along the way.
