The Contract Management page provides information to State agencies and business partners regarding State CM practices. These practices are intended to assist agencies in maximizing the State's investment in information technology (IT) and aid business partners in understanding Maryland's prescribed processes and methodologies.

There are three pri​mary elements to effective contract management:

• Contract Administration and Oversight - a contract manager's role and responsibilities
• Change Management Processes - processes for managing changes to the contract
• Dispute Resolution - steps for solving issues

In addition to providing guidance, the Project Management Office's CM branch provides CM oversight for Department of Information Technology and statewide IT and telecommunications contracts. The IT contracts include hardware, software and services. The telecommunications contracts include products and services for voice, data and wireless.​​
