A must-have reference for contract management professionals, the CMBOK presents what should be learned by contract managers and how they should learn it. The content was developed through a voluntary consensus process governed and administered by NCMA to promote the fair development of consensus. This consensus was established through a job task analysis survey of contract managers and working groups comprised of subject matter experts in contract management. The CMBOK is not solely for the benefit of contract managers; contract managers are not the only ones involved in contract management activities. Numerous stakeholders measure success or failure by contract performance. Knowledge of contract management and competent contract management processes directly impacts the success of contract performance. The seventh edition of the CMBOK is primarily driven by the changes to the Contract Management Standard™ (CMS™). In June 2022, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) reaffirmed the NCMA CMS™ as an American National Standard (ANS). This ANS [ANSI/NCMA ASD 1-2019 (R2022)—see Annex] serves as the CMBOK’s foundational document to expand, refine, and reorganize contract management knowledge. The CMBOK provides further definition of the field of contract management; the framework for the body of knowledge; and the practices, lexicon, and processes of contract management. In addition, it provides procedural steps for contract management processes in general, as well as for specialized areas, including government or commercial contracting.

The collective knowledge of any profession is commonly referred to as its body of knowledge. In the acquisition, procurement, or government contracting profession, the collective wisdom of the National Contract Management Association (NCMA) organizes, and periodically updates, a broadly accepted conceptual inventory of the profession's acquired knowledge. This article describes the NCMA Guide to the Body of Knowledge, how it was developed and is maintained, and its importance and relevance to people concerned with the contract management profession.

Contract Management is an established profession that continues to expand in depth and breadth.The purpose of the Contract Management Body of Knowledge® (CMBOK®), Seventh Edition, is to provide a common understanding of the terminology, practices, policies, and processes used in contract management.The CMBOK® provides broader and deeper explanations of the competencies found in the Contract Management StandardTM (CMSTM), which is an accredited American National Standard (ANS) by the American National Standards Institute [ANS number: ANSI/NCMA ASD 1-2019 (R2022)].The CMSTM is designed to present contract management as a linear system in terms of a product life cycle, where there is a beginning, middle, and end to a contract (i.e., pre-award, award, and post-award). The CMBOK® is designed to present the contract management profession as a circular system in terms of a competence development model. In essence, to understand and apply the CMBOK®, one must be able to apply and understand the CMSTM.The CMSTM competencies are the heart of the CMBOK®. The CMBOK® adds the competencies of "Leadership," "Management," and "Learn" to provide a complete overview of the profession. Effectively applying the CMSTM will lead to improved performance and risk mitigation through intentional and targeted decision-making.

This book addresses the process and principles of contract management in construction from an international perspective. It presents a well-structured, in-depth analysis of construction law doctrines necessary to understand the fundamentals of contract management. The book begins with an introduction to contract management and contract law and formation. It then discusses the various parties to a contract and their relevant obligations, whether they are engineers, contractors or subcontractors. It also addresses standard practices when drafting and revising contracts, as well as what can be expected in standard contracts general clauses. Two chapters are dedicated to contract clauses, with one focused on contract administration such as schedules, payment certificates and defects liability, and the other focused on contract management, such as terminations, dispute resolutions and claims. This book provides a useful reference to engineers, project managers and students within the field of engineering and construction management.
