Management Service is a blend (in the same contract) between a consulting service and a non- consulting service since in some cases no actual physical outputs are delivered while in some cases actual physical outputs are delivered. Management Service can be described as a process for economical and effective planning and regulation of operations of an enterprise in the fulfillment of given purposes. It is a dynamic process consisting of various elements and activities. There are four fundamental functions of Management Service i.e.planning, organizing, actuating, controllingandproducing. It may be convenient to separatethese functionsof management but practicallythese functions are overlappinginnaturei.e.theyare highly separable. Each function blends into the other and each affects the performance of others. So, when procuring Management Service Contracts, the Procuring Entity must prepare clear descriptions of service requirements that include human resource, equipment and tools, systems and financial capacity.
