Contract winners urged to manage deadlines and compliance

Winning funding through a government contract can be encouraging for any business, but the award comes only after at least 26 separate steps and brings fresh responsibilities once it is secured.

After a contract is granted, companies have to manage it closely. Businesses need a clear system for monitoring deadlines, required deliverables and compliance milestones, using straightforward tools that help lower risk and support better performance.

One example involved Trevon, a client who runs a solar equipment installation business and previously failed to keep proper track of key milestones. Online professional dashboards, supported by calendar alerts, helped keep delivery on schedule and in line with contract requirements.
