    Managing Service Contractor Quality

    The quality of services provided by contractors has a large impact on an organization's activities.  The appropriate quality helps to achieve the objectives of the contract, reduce risks, minimize the costs, and achieve HSC policy.

    The quality management of the services provided by the contractors begins first with selecting the appropriate contractors to perform the services that have the technical expertise and the financial ability to perform these services. 

    This course covers the management of the contract, monitoring and measuring the performance of contractors, and evaluating the quality-of-service performance with a pre-established standard according to generally accepted principles.
