Contract Management

Background: A client [Fenn Enterprises], an established entrepreneur, has developed a new business initiative and is keen that you provide independent project management services. He has run many projects but recently twenty of his schemes have been delivered late and overbudget. Last year [20015/2016 financial year April to April] he ran 80 projects ranging between €2.5M and €50M with a total expenditure of >€300M; he expects that total projects will be similar for the next five years. Although the entrepreneur employs a team of in-hose PMs he does not carry out any of the projects; all the work is ‘outsourced’ to independent suppliers or contractors. For taxation purposes Fenn Enterprises is based in England.

(d) Compare and Contrast the provisions in standard form contracts for payment of the contractor/supplier [e.g. payment when complete; or stage/interim etc]
