Course Overview

Once the contract has been awarded and signed between the parties, it is important to ensure that the contracted works need to be delivered for its intended purpose. This is where the contract administration comes into place to monitor the contracted works or services which must be effectively delivered.

Contract administration includes the activities needed to implement and determine the fulfilment of the contract requirements by the parties of the contract. The contracted works are a team effort which involves all the contractual parties to work towards the common goal of delivering the completed works ready for its intended use.

The basic responsibilities of the parties are generally stipulated within the contract documents. Depending on the project deliverables, the selection of procurement route may differ. The role of the contract administrator does not begin until the contract is in place between the parties. However, in practice, such roles will begin before the existence of the contract.

Based on the scale of the project, the appointment of a contract administrator will vary. Generally, the contract administration services are provided as a part of the consultant’s service. In the case of large-scale projects, the employer may hire a full-time representative to administer the contract.

The contract administrator is not the same as the project manager, the project manager is the added participant in the process and the contract administrator is usually an integral component of the basic services agreement between the parties.

This Zoe course will provide a holistic education/training to the delegates for the best practice in dealing with the contract implementation, payments, valuation of variations, administering claims, dispute resolution and project closeout.

In order to understand the contract administrator’s involvement in the project and for successful completion of works or services, it is essential for all the developers, contractors, consultants to train their employees on the procedures involved in the administration of contracts.
