Contract management

We constantly monitor supplier performance through Customer Satisfaction Surveys, a Customer Complaints Procedure and regular supplier meetings.

PfH manages procurement contracts on behalf of its Members. All PfH contracts benefit from the most rigorous and professional management programme which contributes to improved performance, mitigated risk, and ensures fiscal accountability for Members.
