In a nutshell

What are the practical and legal implications of, and how will you plan for, the new contract management framework?

The proposed framework is intended to streamline Contract Management in:

ALL National Departments
The 9 Provincial Governments
PUBLIC ENTITIES
State-owned Enterprises

Who should attend?

All HODs, Accounting Officials, Executives, Legal Officers and personnel engaged with the administration, drafting and management of government contracts.

You are invited to attend this one-day skills development workshop which will assist you to develop greater efficiencies in managing public sector contracts.

You will learn the A - Z of the proposed new Government Contract Management
Framework and relevant Guidelines.

Agenda

This practical and technical workshop will address the CMF; the relevant law and regulations; and selected case law. More specifically it will provide you with:

• An introduction to and overview of the key elements of the proposed Contract Management Framework for government departments, entities and organisations in South Africa as proposed by the Accountant General.
• An insight into the latest guidelines issued by the Accountant General.
• Knowledge of contract terminology and how to effectively apply it.
• Insight into the essential aspects of sound contract management.
• An understanding of why public bodies are referred to as 'creatures of statute' and are bound by the rule of law. i.e. when may public officers apply the usual rules of contract and when are they bound to apply the statutory provisions.
• Insight into the ramifications of contracting service providers, suppliers and vendors and binding them to enforceable service level agreements.
• Selected legal case studies and how public organisations can apply the outcomes and lessons learned - the best practice!

The presenter is a subject-matter and legal expert who will deal with your FAQs and contract governance in the Public Sector-related enquiries.
