Transaction management is the term used for coordination and management of major commercial transactions, high value and high-risk infrastructure procurements, and/or complex collaborative agreements between the government and private sector.
In this context, the ‘transactions’ are usually high value, complex and one-off construction projects that may have a long-term operational implications.
These projects often fall outside the scope of traditional procurement methods due to factors like their size, complexity, or the unique nature of the supply market involved.
A transaction management approach involves developing tailored processes to address the specific needs of a given project or deal. It requires careful planning and execution to navigate the complexities involved. Unlike routine business operations, major transactions demand significant resources, expertise, and attention to detail along with dedicated teams, customised strategies, and bespoke methodologies to achieve the desired outcomes effectively.
By employing a transaction management approach, organisations can effectively navigate the intricacies of high-value, high-risk transactions and achieve their objectives with confidence.
Procurement strategies based on strategic choices ensure infrastructure delivery in a way that maximises the value generated for society as a whole. For quality infrastructure investment, procurement processes should be directed towards generating broader value in terms of economic, environmental and social benefits. – OECD
