Contracts often contain more than just agreements and signatures. For contract managers, they are a source of recurring annual obligations:
⚠️ The risk: Missing something — for example, a subsidy application arriving too late, or forgetting to request a required plan on time. Proper contract management prevents delays, lost revenue, or even penalties.
Effective contract management starts with defining the goal: what do you want to achieve with your contract management processes? Then map all recurring annual activities in a contract year calendar.
For large contracts, such as in public transport or public charging infrastructure, multiple roles are often involved. Timely execution is critical:
Contract managers need assurance that annual plans are delivered on time and that subsidies or consultation rounds are not delayed — preferably without chasing tasks constantly.
