The Principles of Contracting
Techniques
Introduction:
Every day
significant profits are made and lost by organizations as a result of the
contractual terms and conditions governing contracts for the purchase of goods,
equipment, and services. Since all business activities are governed by
contractual relationships, it is increasingly important for all those dealing
with outside organizations to have an understanding of how to obtain the best
possible agreement for their organization. The course will look at how
contracts are created, and some of the main clauses that appear in contracts,
together with a number of alternative contracting strategies and structures.
The course will then consider methods to be used in negotiating contracts,
including techniques relating to negotiating on variations and claims. The
course will deal with day to day commercial issues arising from business
agreements written in the English language, but will use techniques which have
wide application to many types of contract in many countries.
