Contracting Enterprise Council

Definition

A Contracting Enterprise Council is a governance body that coordinates acquisition policy, practices, and initiatives across an organization's contracting activities. CECs bring together contracting leaders to address common challenges, share best practices, and align procurement approaches.

CECs may establish enterprise-wide policies, review major procurements, and coordinate workforce development. Understanding CEC priorities helps contractors anticipate organizational procurement direction and emerging requirements. CEC decisions often influence how individual contracting offices operate.
