Proven Best Practices for Contract, Commercial, and Relationship Management

Since 2005, the CATS frameworks have helped professionals and organizations improve management of all processes relating to contracts with proven best practices. What started with contract and commercial management with CATS CM®, developed into a series of best practices by adding CATS RVM® for contract management in project and service management and CATS SRM® for Supplier Relationship Management.

Who we are

We create and maintain proven best practice frameworks for contract and relationship management. Supported by books, training courses, and certification programs, our methodologies help professionals develop the expertise needed to strengthen business relationships and improve performance.

Why best practices

Since 2005, the CATS Frameworks have been built on one principle: organizations realize better results when they apply proven best practices instead of reinventing processes from scratch.


Best practices combine the experience of multiple organizations, validated approaches, documented knowledge and continual improvement. They help professionals reduce risk, accelerate implementation and adopt methods that have already demonstrated their value in practice.
