Municipality Súdwest-Fryslân optimizes contract management

Súdwest-Fryslân was looking for an efficient contract management tool where they could manage and process all agreements and arrangements with suppliers - in the fields of Information Provision and ICT - in a targeted and lawful manner at a single central location. Moreover, the tool had to be accessible to everyone involved at all times and everywhere.

A phased approach based on the NICV model for contract management

'For the implementation, we chose a phased approach,' says Koen Laurijsen, Sector Manager Public NL at Anchr. 'Our starting point is the NICV model, a survey tool developed by NIC. This provides you with a clear understanding of which stage of contract management your organisation is currently in and offers practical guidance for achieving the next maturity level of contract management. In this way, the Municipality of Súdwest-Fryslân can grow organically with all the capabilities our software offers. It always feels good to see that your customers can achieve their goals with your solutions.'

Based on our expertise and experience with various clients, we see that contract management and contract administration are becoming increasingly relevant within public institutions. When the foundation is in place, smarter spend management, Business Intelligence, and Data Science can provide more insights and enable better forecasting. Silent contract extensions that go unnoticed in a timely manner, missed opportunities, and inefficient management will truly be a thing of the past.
