The critical importance of effective and appropriate contract drafting catered to the specific needs of the particular business and the situation cannot be emphasized enough. Robust contracts identify and minimize risk for the organization and ensure that projects and procurement are carried out efficiently and without costly disputes. All too frequently contract wording used is not properly understood which ultimately detrimentally affects the performance of the project and even possibly leads to contract failure. Procurement and tendering have become increasingly sophisticated but all individuals need to be aware of the current and best practices adopted by some of the major international corporations to increase the effectiveness of their procedures. This course will assist all individuals in dealing with such contract wording and procedures to maximize the benefits to the organization and reduce risks.
Contracts are the basic structure of all business relationships, whether they be for the construction of a major new facility, or the supply of stationery, the terms and the management of the contract itself are critical to the success of all companies. As such, contracts touch every aspect of business life, and all staff (whether directly involved in contract management or not) must understand how they operate, particularly in an international context. The seminar covers the three stages of contracting; negotiating the “deal”; documenting that deal in a robust, but practical way: and managing the performance of the contract itself. The intention is to develop general skills with application to a wide range of contracts and to allow participants to have an awareness of practices in other areas and other industries, which may add value to their situations. The seminar will also allow considering matters from the perspective of the other party to a contract.
