fulfilment

'to fulfil a contract' is what I would say (UK) but would need to see the whole context probably.

performance of a contract

To vary the terminology..
You "execute" orders, wishes, wills, etc., so you may be able to execute actions agreed in the contract.
You perform a contract until it is fulfilled.

French term (edited): ex�cution d'un contrat

execution of contract (legal Dico)

there are two terms as execution and performance of contract
you could use both and it will not be big mistake but in practice
execution of the contract is used very often for contracts
and performance is used more often for obligations, etc
