2024 Cronin Submission Booklet

As public procurement employees, we are held to a high standard and must be good stewards of public funds. Effective contract management is critical to this endeavor and relies on collaboration between procurement professionals and program staff. However, the division of responsibility is not always clear, and program staff have many other responsibilities besides contract management. To address these concerns, Colorado has created a new contract management policy and training course for program staff.
