Contract and relationship management - an ongoing commitment for all councils

EELGA is pleased to share up-to-date guidance on creating and maintaining an effective contract register, produced by Talent Bank Associates Ken Cole and Rowena Ward. The guidance is specifically written for district councils, who often find it more challenging as they have fewer resources.

An up-to-date contracts register is a precursor to any efforts to improve contract and relationship management (C&RM) outcomes. The guide has helpful information, tips and links and provides an excellent foundation for any council looking to implement a C&RM transformation programme.
