Both the buyer and the seller will administer the procurement contract for similar purposes. Each are required
to ensure that both parties meet their contractual obligations and that their own legal rights are protected. The legal
nature of the contractual relationship makes it imperative that the project management team is aware of the legal
implications of actions taken when controlling any procurement. On larger projects with multiple providers, a key
aspect of contract administration is managing interfaces among the various providers.

Due to varying organizational structures, many organizations treat contract administration as an administrative
function separate from the project organization. While a procurement administrator may be on the project team,
this individual typically reports to a supervisor from a different department. This is usually true if the performing
organization is also the seller of the project to an external customer.
