the Force should consider attaching the contracts a person is responsible for to their role profile. In that way as officers and staff move through the Force, it will be clear who is responsible for which contract.
Procurement should continue to set a contract review stage as part of every contract, allowing sufficient time to review the contract. These should be communicated to the ArealDept designated to lead on the contract who should be expected to initiate action. Procurement should report as set out in recommendation 2 any defaults against this standard.
