Benefits of Contract Administration

Selection of Proposals that meet the objective, scope, and execution of the contract must be conducted broadly to ensure an adequate and objective evaluation of the proposals. The contractor that best aligns with the project’s technical, financial, and operational objectives must also be selected. Probitas has a team of associated consultants that provides the appropriate support and assistance to avoid deviations from the beginning.
Contract management support allows for identifying and addressing potential legal, financial, and operational risks from the earliest stages and establishing corrective measures and contingency plans in the contracts. Probitas issues a report with the measures to be taken that can be implemented with adequate notice so that the risks are controlled, and the project objectives are achieved.
Probitas’s main objectives are monitoring compliance with the agreed terms and supporting the agile management of contractual changes to avoid disputes, delays, and significant deviations from the project objectives.
