The Contract management plan differs from the Procurement management plan by which characteristics?

Procurement planning and adoption of sound procurement practices lead to consistently better value for money; higher quality project and service delivery; and reduced risks to the agency. Procurement planning involves consulting key stakeholders to define requirements, analysing how the supply market works, assessing risks and ultimately defining the best procurement strategy to meet the agency’s business needs. However, the scale and scope of research, analysis and planning should be proportionate to the importance of the procurement to the agency, the level of risk inherent in the procurement and its value. A procurement plan must be developed for procurements with a total estimated value of $5 million and above except where the Accountable Authority decides that the plan would be of no benefit due to the nature of that procurement.

All contract managers should have a good knowledge of the operation and performance of the contracts under their responsibility in order to enhance contract outcomes.

Contract management is an integral part of the procurement cycle.  A contract management plan assists contract managers to properly manage contracts by addressing transition management, performance monitoring and by helping to ensure that both parties fulfil their commercial and contractual commitments. 

Contract management plans should be developed for all medium to high risk contracts.  A public authority should ensure that contracts are managed in accordance with the contract management plan and that plans are kept current.

A contract management plan must be developed for procurements with a total estimated value of $5 million and above except where the Accountable Authority decides:

The purchase is a one-off good and/or service that is not the subject of a period contract arrangement.

or

That the plan would be of no benefit due to the nature of that procurement.

 A contract management plan must also be developed for procurement from a Common Use Arrangement, if that purchase is valued at $5 million and above, unless the CUA Buyers Guide says otherwise.

Your question is a little unclear to me.  If you are referring to the Quality Control Plan that is submitted post award by the winning contractor.  This would be different from the proposal that was initially submitted to Procurement Management during the bidding process and then upon successful bid award would submit their Quality Control Plan during the required time period to the Contract Department prior to commencement of work.  More clarification please of the question if this was not the answer you were looking for.  Thank you.

It is B - The procurement management plan relates to the project, while a contract management plan may be written for each individual procurement item.
