We see procurement as the start of a relationship.

Experience

At SPA Australia, we help government clients get the most from their contracts and supplier relationships – with a practical, outcomes-focused approach to both contract management and vendor management.

Contract management

We support the day-to-day management of individual contracts to ensure delivery is on track, obligations are met, and risks are managed. Our advisors work alongside you to:

Monitor contract performance and service levels
Manage variations, extensions and disputes
Ensure compliance with terms and governance requirements
Support reporting, reviews and audits

Because many of our advisors are also involved in the procurement phase, we understand how to set contracts up for success and manage them smoothly through delivery.

Vendor management

Beyond individual contracts, we help you manage strategic supplier relationships across multiple engagements. Our approach ensures you get the best from your vendors while fostering productive, long-term partnerships.

We help you:

Establish governance frameworks, accountabilities, and review structures
Coordinate supplier performance across contracts and business units
Lead supplier relationship management (SRM) forums and performance reviews
Identify risks, improvement opportunities and innovation potential
