Contract Management Handbook

This Contract Management Handbook (Handbook) is intended to serve as a general guideline for the Contract Management process and to establish best practice recommendations.  Contract Management is the coordination and management of five core processes: Planning, Procurement, Contract Formation, Contract Administration, and Contract Closeout.  Various types of purchases and contracts may be subject to different statutory standards, practices, processes, and strategies for successful implementation.  This Handbook outlines recommendations on improving existing contract management processes and practices for contract managers.
