Abstract: The contract management is one of the most important parts of the procurement process. The overall performance of the procurement process depends heavily on the contracting process performance. An effective manner to obtain an improved performance of the contracting management is by implementing the best practices. However, the best practices are not still entirely characterised, especially when taking into consideration the healthcare sector, which presents greater challenges when compared to other sectors. Therefore, this study investigates what are the best practices adopted in the contracting process by healthcare organisations. In total, 15 organisations from different parts of the world participated in this research. Data was gathered through a case study research. The best practices for each step of the contracting process are presented. The results show that the enablers had a key role in supporting the adoption of the best practices.
