Improved management of long-term contracts

Long-term contracts require a specialised approach, especially if they are to be financed separately from the main business.   Talanworth can help you understand and control the risks involved in such contracts and the alternative financing approaches.  We can also assist you to put finance in place using our extensive international experience with projects involving long-term contracts as indicated under Case Studies.

We can take you from review of the contract, through tender submission and negotiation, to financial close assisting you with the issues below. 

1. Taking on a major long term contract can bring additional risks not easy to foresee in advance.  The unprepared business may experience a nasty shock or even face financial difficulties.  
2. Understanding the principal obligations and risks under the contract ,
3. Mitigation and control of such risks, equitable and economically efficient risk allocation,
4. How best to prioritise contracts, manage bidding costs?
