procurement and contract administration

Strategic procurement and disciplined contract administration are essential to maintaining project momentum, managing risk, and ensuring accountability. I coordinate with vendors, subcontractors, and consultants to secure timely resources and enforce contractual obligations throughout execution.

My Key Responsibilities in This Phase:

Vendor and Subcontractor Coordination

I manage the technical and operational side of procurement by:

  • Reviewing supplier qualifications and evaluating bids

  • Clarifying scopes of work with subcontractors

  • Confirming delivery timelines and logistics

  • Ensuring technical compliance before issuing purchase orders or subcontracts

Preparing Procurement Plans and Schedules

Working alongside project planners and cost controllers, I:

  • Develop procurement schedules linked to project milestones

  • Identify long-lead items and critical materials

  • Create procurement packages for materials, services, and subcontractors

  • Align sourcing strategies with construction sequencing and budget targets

Variation and Claims Management

I maintain detailed records to:

  • Evaluate variation requests

  • Justify time or cost impacts

  • Support documentation for approvals

  • Minimize disputes through clear, contract-based communication

Managing Contract Execution and Compliance

Once contracts are in place, I:

  • Monitor performance against agreed scopes, timelines, and quality

  • Review progress claims, payment certificates, and change orders

  • Track deliverables against KPIs and project milestones

  • Identify non-compliance issues and initiate corrective actions where needed
