This intermediate level course introduces learners to the practices and processes required to effectively undertake the contract administration or management function in a Local Government context.

This course will cover the development of a contract management plan and its key inclusions. These include the preparation of a risk management matrix, risk review schedule, RACI matrix, and a detailed schedule of meetings and reporting requirements derived from the scope of the RFx. Other contract changes that may occur during the contract term are also covered, such as dispute resolution, requests for variation or novation.

Critically, the skills and knowledge provided in this unit need to be applied within the Local Government legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. It’s essential therefore, that you consult with your Local Government’s respective policies in conjunction with the learning material provided.

Target Audience

This course is for those who will be administering or managing the contract in either a procurement, financial, governance, project management or works related capacity.
