Riassunto

This book is about Contract Management. As a subject, this has tended to be viewed as being very much the junior partner in the procurement cycle or the part of the process that is somebody else s problem. There are many first class texts on how to manage the procurement cycle right up to the award of contract and this textbook in no way attempts to compete with them. We are attempting to fill a perceived gap in the general literature by giving some practical advice to those who are responsible for managing contracts, but struggle to find a single textbook covering the subject.
