This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in councils of all sizes. Knowledge of the legislation and regulations that provide the boundaries for the operation of councils is essential. The unique nature of councils, as a tier of government, directed by elected members and reflecting the needs of local communities must be appropriately reflected.
This unit may also be contextualised to other public or private sectors as long as the essential outcomes of the unit are not changed.
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required of senior managers responsible for overseeing the development of tenders and the subsequent management of contracts and contractors.
Effective and efficient management of external contracts is now a major component of many managers' roles. The need for high levels of accountability and transparency while managing commercial relationships is addressed in this unit.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
