What you need to do

For service contracts, agree service management plans with suppliers, with responsibilities allocated for service management and standards defined and agreed for service levels, service quality and measurement (see the briefing on managing contracts and performance).

Points to consider

Look ahead to plan for how contract managers will ensure that services are delivered as intended, once the service becomes operational.
