Contract management

Gleeds’ experienced contract managers provide assurance that a robust framework is in place for every project – one that ensures time, cost and quality drivers are met and exceeded. We confirm that what is needed is contracted, what is negotiated is documented and, above all else, that contractual obligations are performed as agreed.

Our expert services span the entire contract lifecycle – from identifying needs and clearly defining the scope, through to execution and close-out.

We believe that the value of a contract lies in its outcome. This means structuring and implementing a best-fit framework that sets all parties up to deliver successfully.

Involving Gleeds at the outset of a project is the beginning of a ‘golden thread’ of knowledge and understanding which continues through the construction phase and beyond – keeping contractual relationships healthy and productive. Our experts help clients to avoid common pitfalls before they happen, for instance through the appropriate allocation of risks.

Gleeds’ bespoke technical and commercial evaluation criteria give confidence at award stage that agreements will deliver a safe, high quality product to schedule and within budget. Engaging closely with the client and appointed legal counsel, we negotiate conditions before the recommendation and appointment of contractors. We can also draw up and review contract documents to resolve any issues before construction commences. This eliminates uncertainty, and focuses the team fully on delivering the project.

At Gleeds, we administer our clients' contracts with rigour, and demand the same of all contractors. Our contract management plan secures strict adherence to the agreed specification, price, and schedule, while proactively mitigating risk. If a conflict or dispute arises, we have an international advisory group that offers neutral evaluations and support with resolution.
