Commercial Assignment 2022
This assignment is worth 50% of the total assessment for EG595B.
For this assignment you have two options:
1) Using a major contract which is either now complete or near completion/or has been
running for a long time and is in your own organisation – apply the IACCM Contract
Life Management (CLM) framework we have discussed in the lecture notes and
identify what has worked/is working with your organisation’s contract management,
what didn’t work and what lessons can be learnt. Then apply either the OGC or
Cullen CLM frameworks and contrast which CLM framework was the most effective
for your case study and why. Remember the first half of this module (legal) and look
for any observations concerning how the contract has developed in execution and
the contract terms and conditions.
Or
2) Use a high-profile contract with plenty of information in the public domain and is
either now complete or near completion/or has been running for a long time – apply
the IACCM Contract Life Management (CLM) framework we have discussed in the
lecture notes and identify what has worked/is working, what didn’t work and what
lessons can be learnt. Then apply either the OGC or Cullen CLM frameworks and
contrast which CLM framework was the most effective for your case study and why.
Major contracts like those with the architect for the Scottish Parliament, construction
of the 2012 Olympics, HS2 or British Library are examples of projects with significant
data in the public domain. Find out what standard form of contract was used, and
consider whether this had any impact on the successes or issues encountered. If the
contract is not available, propose the most suitable form of contract, giving reasons
for your choice in terms of possible impacts on success.
