Contract management is an important aspect of every project and DHV has expert skills in this discipline. Together with the client, we perform a “purchase assessment”, in which we evaluate the best form of collaboration, the scope of the work, the controls, and the appropriate contract form and management. This can result in an innovative contract, such as PPS or Design & Build, or in a traditional contract form.
In the case of innovative contracts, we often encounter aspects such as:
- risk management
- functional specifications
- European request for tender contract management
- legal affairs
Being aware that innovative contracts alter the parties’ roles means that alternative forms of collaboration must be identified. Not like the traditional client who retains management and oversight, but more like a professional client who professionally manages the risks with an alert attitude.
The foundation for our advice is the selected form of collaboration, which we document in the required contracts and which we manage throughout the process or project to be completed.
