Tender Adjudication, Ethical Procurement and Contract Management

Contracts are often critical to a business and are extremely valuable assets. Their value is often recognised in times of dispute, yet if the process is mutually accepted and understood, referral to them is minimal. Recent policy, legislative and regulatory reform in African government institutions is focused on enhancing service delivery to all the people of Africa. Good practice contract management has the capacity to increase revenue opportunities, decrease costs and enhance service delivery. Contracts are often managed manually and by multiple managers without an enterprise wide approach. A multitude of rules and complex decision making can lead to inflexibility, poor planning, extended lead times and below par service delivery.
