Understand how to manage contracts and suppliers with our new guidance

If you are new to procurement and still developing your knowledge on contract and supplier management, you may be wondering: ‘How can I ensure my contracts work at their best? How can I get the best out of suppliers? And how do I decide the best way to manage each supplier?’ To learn the answers to these questions and more, download our new guidance note ‘Contract and supplier management for facilities managers’, developed by the IWFM Procurement and Contract Management SIG.

As a facilities management (FM) professional who is responsible for managing procurement contracts, you will also be accountable for the performance of suppliers. And when a contract fails, it often proves very costly for all parties. This guidance note can reduce the risk of any poor performance by helping you understand how to manage your suppliers with good structure and diligence.

But there’s more, as the author and IWFM Procurement and Contract Management SIG Treasurer, Justine Cooper, explains: ‘This guidance takes members through the contract lifespan, showing what to consider at each stage, how to manage different types of relationships, plus handy processes and tools that can be easily adopted.’
