Context
“Working Together” through close coordination with the contractor Control Dutch practices for international contractor. Requirements management, V&V, handover, and certificate management.
Our solution
- 01 Define an integrated contract management strategy based on partial deliveries, explicit validation, and System Oriented Contract Management (SCB).
- 02 Strengthen technical management by fostering interaction with VeenIX and making reviews a continuous process rather than a formal event.
- 03 Apply a risk-based approach, focusing on critical concerns, and require the contractor to verify contract requirements during execution through derived and validated requirements.
What Oxand delivered
Coordinated V&V and handover
Oxand coordinates V&V, certificate management, and handover processes through risk-based and process-driven approaches, using tools like Relatics.
Questions about this reference
What is Oxand's role on A9BAHO?
Working alongside the contractor: requirements management, verification and validation, handover and certificate management, run in line with Dutch contracting practice.
What is System Oriented Contract Management?
It is the Dutch practice of steering a contract by testing the contractor's own quality system rather than inspecting every work individually. It shifts the client's effort from checking outputs to checking that the process producing them is sound.
Why does an international contractor need support on Dutch practice?
Because the contract is administered under conventions that are not the contractor's own — partial deliveries, explicit validation, system-oriented management. Aligning to them is a condition of the contract being accepted, not a preference.
What changes when reviews become continuous?
Technical management strengthens, because interaction with VeenIX happens as the work proceeds rather than at fixed gates. A review stops being a formal event and becomes the way the work is steered.
What does the risk-based approach require of the contractor?
That it focuses on the critical concerns, and that it verifies the contract requirements during execution through requirements it has itself derived and validated — rather than leaving verification to the end.
