Procurement Contract Drafting and Terms and Conditions Essentials

Many procurement disputes across African organisations trace back to loosely worded contracts and boilerplate terms that nobody tailored to the deal. This course equips buyers and contract officers to draft clear scope, pricing, delivery and remedy clauses, and to spot the terms and conditions that quietly shift risk onto the buyer. Delegates work through practical clause examples drawn from goods, services and works contracts.
