Project / Program Development

Strategic procurement means different things to all people. We see procurement as part of the greater project and a key element in effective delivery (quality procurement processes means quality market responses) increasing the success of projects.

We can manage the project or work as part of an integrated project team and adapt to meet your needs. Our teams can develop and deliver high quality outcomes for simple or complex projects including:

• Stakeholder engagement / procurement project facilitation

• Procurement strategy / procurement plans

• Governance / probity

• Tender package development with integration of contract terms

• Effective market engagement

• Tender analysis and negotiation

• Recommendation and stakeholder / delegation approval

• Contract finalisation and execution

If you have just executed a contract as a Principal or Service Provider, implementation and onboarding is a crucial step in the process and can set the partnership up for success or failure. Particularly in infrastructure, where you may have access to site issues, training, inductions and authorisations and integration of data / systems.

At Hartcorp, we don’t see the job done until the crews are mobilised, all authorisations and approvals are in place and early works are commencing. To effectively implement and onboard works, we offer:

• Development and operation of mobilisation / implementation plans

• Facilitation of contract establishment / kick-off meetings

• Project plans documentation development and or review

• Development of contract management plans, governance, processes and templates

• Onboarding the contract management team

• Tracking, monitoring and reporting through project implementation

Contract Management is applied differently across various contracting models, project risk, companies and even within different business units of an organisation. Good contract management is more likely to create a win / win  where the works are delivered on time, to high quality with safe outcomes in accordance with the agreed cost and terms of the contract.

This can only happen with the right people in place, systems, processes, governance and tools to manage the contract / relationship. Outcomes and performance need to be managed with open and transparent communication.

We work with your unique circumstances to establish your requirements to manage the contract. We consider your resourcing, contract model and deliverables, project risk, systems, processes, tools and contracting parties to provide the best fit for purpose contract management model. We can offer:

• Contract management support and mentoring over the life of the contract

• Tools and templates

• Administration of contracts

• Site visits to monitor and audit quality, safety and environmental performance

• Performance and reporting metrics

Reviewing your projects outcomes throughout the project allows you to continually improve your business or apply lessons learnt to new projects. We all can continuously learn and improve, by having open and honest dialogue on all aspects of a project creates the ultimate continuous improvement environment.

It is also important to consider evolving technology, social and government trends and ensure you are always up to date and ahead of the curve. Hartcorp spends considerable time to ensure we are informed across new technologies and important social trends. Talk to our team on how we can help with:
