Contract Management: Contract management primarily focuses on the post-award phase of a contract. It involves activities such as tracking contract performance, ensuring compliance, and managing changes or amendments after the contract has been executed.
A business management agreement formalizes the working relationship between a business and its manager. The contract will include information such as budgeting, the percentage of business revenue owed to the manager, and confidentiality requirements.
Contract management is the process of creating, implementing, and reviewing contracts. Whether this is between a business and supplier, or partner, contract management is an essential part of your business.
The stages of contract management can be broken down into pre-signature (creation, negotiation/collaboration, and review/approval) and post-signature (administration/execution, renewal/termination, and reporting/tracking).
Contract management concerns the 'contract execution' and 'contract termination & evaluation' phases (under the slogan: 'you can only manage a contract if it exists'). Supplier management on the other hand involves the entire contract lifecycle, from determination of needs to contract termination.
Below is an example of a management contract: ABC Consulting agrees to provide management services to XYZ Corporation for the period of January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. ABC Consulting will be responsible for managing the sales department of XYZ Corporation, including its employees, processes, and systems.
Management Contracts Involving Hotels The contract is between the hotel owner and the management company, which takes over operation management. Sometimes, the contract is for only one of the outlets of the hotel, whereas in other instances, the contract may be for the entire hotel chain.
Examples of contract management Vendor contracts: Contract management might involve negotiating the terms and conditions, keeping track of delivery dates, managing disputes, ensuring compliance with the agreed terms, and renegotiating or terminating the contract as necessary.
