Overview

Contract Strategy and Claims Control Planning Course is a five-day course that connects pre-award choices with post-award controls. Participants build a Contract Strategy and Claims Control Plan covering procurement sequencing, risk allocation, administration responsibilities, early-warning records, variation pathways, entitlement analysis, and claim decisions. The course treats contract planning and claims readiness as one control system rather than separate legal tasks. Agile Leaders Training Center presents this course as an applied bridge between commercial strategy and contract evidence.

Who Should Attend

Contract managers responsible for planning, administration, and claim decisions
Procurement professionals designing contracting routes and bid packages
Project controls specialists connecting schedule and cost records to contract events
Commercial managers evaluating variations, entitlement, and recovery positions
Claims practitioners improving notices, evidence, and submission governance

The course assumes working knowledge of contracts and project delivery; it does not provide legal advice or focus on negotiation technique alone.

Departments and Industries

The course supports functions that coordinate contracting strategy, delivery controls, and claims management.

Contracts, procurement, commercial, legal support, and supply chain
Project controls, planning, cost management, and risk
Construction, engineering, infrastructure, and facilities services
Energy, manufacturing, transport, and logistics
Technology, telecommunications, and outsourced services

FAQs

How does contract strategy affect later claims management?

Contract strategy affects later claims management through package boundaries, risk ownership, authority, notice requirements, records, and decision pathways established before award.

What is included in contract administration planning?

Contract administration planning defines responsibilities, communication routes, notice tracking, decision records, variation controls, evidence ownership, escalation, and reporting.

How does early-warning control support claims readiness?

Early-warning control identifies events, assigns owners, records possible effects, preserves contemporaneous evidence, and prompts timely commercial and operational decisions.

What does entitlement analysis examine?

Entitlement analysis examines the contract basis, event chronology, causation, responsibility, compliance with procedural requirements, effect, and supporting evidence.

What will participants produce during the course?

Participants build a Contract Strategy and Claims Control Plan that joins contracting choices, risk allocation, administration controls, variation pathways, evidence, and claim review.

Conclusion

Participants leave with a Contract Strategy and Claims Control Plan supported by route-selection, risk-allocation, notice, evidence, variation, and entitlement tools. The work product helps teams align pre-award decisions with post-award control, preserve decision quality, and manage claims through a traceable governance pathway.
