Dear Gents,
Greeting of the day! Hope you are doing well.
How can we close a contract at the end of the service in closing process group? Is it a formal closing by a meeting or paper signed? i didn't face that before? Any shared experience from your side ?
Thanks in advance

Dear kumar,
Thanks for your feedback, I will check in PMI website, however I have managed more than 100 international contracts but never close out with suppliers directly, this is good to know if this is necessary to be done
best regards
Hamid
Dear Abdelhamid, Me too...I have probably executed more than 200 + projects over the last 22 years in regulatory, Energy, Utilities, Retail Financial Services and Mission critical SCADA systems. In all except 2 instances, I had closed the projects using mechanisms as suggested by others in this forum. Only 2 regulatory and mission critical projects had resource background checks, service credit in case project failure and exit clauses detailed. The checklists were there for every stage and the learnings we had from those two projects were exceptional. Me and 89 other SMEs were involved in those two projects. We finished the project by missing four medium category issues for which I have been given a warning by the Customer Management team to complete them during steady-state within 3 weeks. The duration of the project was for 18 months.

Interesting question. I just quickly checked two of our main project and procurement manuals (over 1000 pages combined!), and not one word about any formal meeting or signed piece of paper. There is talk of a project closeout report, project closeout checklist, balancing finance accounts, etc., etc., but nothing about "formally" notifying the contractor. Indeed, I find that a bit strange. Saving Changes...
