Contract change control system

A contract manager is nominated for each seller and buyer to act as its representative. This person or department is therefore the only individual or group authorized to change or amend the contract. The project team or stakeholders can raise a request for change, but the change control system would be used to review and evaluate the proposal. If the change is approved for implementation, the change request would then need to be formally passed to the seller for consideration. If the impact on scope, cost and time is acceptable to both buyer and seller, the change is then managed as part of the integrated change control process. If too many changes are being proposed to the work package under contract, it may be appropriate to terminate the contract under mutual arrangements and start afresh with a new contract or seller.
