One of the fundamental aspects of good procurement is the ability to design and deliver the right commercial approach and then establish the journey of robust contract and commercial management. This approach will deliver certainty, defined governance, opportunities to mitigate risk, innovation potential and commercial value into the future.
As part of this service, we provide a clear, structured plan for both the client and supplier, enabling contracts to be delivered as intended, milestones to be met, and a platform for informed decision making. In addition, our contract turnaround service provides for course correction and re-setting of relationships, or if necessary, the elimination of under-performing contracts in a controlled and sensitive manner.
“Southend-on-Sea Borough Council (SBC) sees effective Contract Management key to delivering value, and effective outcomes for the Residents, Visitors and Business in the Borough. After significant research, looking at best practice and approaches to Contract Management, we settled on the Orbis approach to Contract Segmentation and Contract Management Framework.
The Contract Segmentation tool was for us ‘a light bulb’ moment, it provides us with an easy consistent way to categorise our contracts. We have been able to adapt to meet SBC needs, and then rapidly deploy this solution to provide a holistic view of our Contracts, the framework also provides a suite of tools and templates to support effective contract management, without being restrictive in its use. For us the Orbis solution has helped us deliver an Agile Contract Management Project, which I believe is six months ahead of where I expected it to be.”
