A contract is an agreement between two parties for the exchange goods, services or money. The Contract Administrator ensures parties use reasonable diligence in complying with the terms, conditions, rights and obligations of the contract. He also coordinates the changes to the agreement that might arise during the contract and performs the “closure” when both parties have fulfilled their obligations. Contract administration is practiced whenever contracts are involved.
A big part of the job of Contract Administrator is to monitor compliance with contract requirements. This ensures that all the obligations specified in the contract are met or not. Monitoring of performance during the contract usually can be achieved through the use of electronic document management systems, spreadsheets etc.
As part of the monitoring process, the Contract Administrator shall inspect the deliverables (products and/or services) in order to ensure that these are in line with contractual obligations. Before any payment is satisfied, the Contract Administrator should ensure that "Contractual Obligations" and the terms of the agreement have been fulfilled.
