A New Milestone for NSCCM: Official Adoption of the Contract
Management Standard™

NSCCM is proud to announce that we have officially become Adopters of the Contract

Management Standard™ (CMS™) – the globally recognized framework for professional

contract and commercial management.

By adopting the CMS™, NSCCM joins a growing international community committed to

strengthening contract management as a modern, strategic discipline.

The Contract Management Standard™ provides an internationally recognised framework

that promotes structure, consistency, and a shared professional language across

organisations, sectors, and jurisdictions. It covers the entire contract lifecycle—from pre-

award to close-out—and supports improved collaboration, stronger risk management, and

greater value creation.

The original English version of the standard, as well as the official Danish translation, can

be accessed and downloaded here

By becoming an Adopter, NSCCM commits to embedding the principles of CMS™ into our

education programmes, certifications, and professional development activities. This

ensures that our work is aligned with international recognised best practice, including

structured processes, strong commercial capabilities, high ethical standards, and

professional conduct in contract management.

Adopting CMS™ further strengthens NSCCM’s academic and professional foundation and

reflects our ambition to contribute to higher standards of contract management across both the public and private sectors. At the same time, it provides our participants and partners with confidence that our training is anchored in a globally recognised and practice-oriented framework.

We are proud to be part of the CMS community and look forward to contributing to the

continued development of professional contract management in the Nordic region.

Through this adoption, NSCCM reinforces its commitment to advancing professional

standards and supporting the development of contract management as a strategic

capability in modern organisations.
