Narrative:

An A320 aircraft experienced a bird strike to the number 1 engine in ZZZ; resulting in two blades having minor bends. On-call [contract] maintenance accomplished an engine inspection jobcard. The flight crew reported no engine parameter shifts. Per the jobcard; an engine boroscope was not required at this time. Per the procedures manual; a maintenance ferry is a procedure where I fill out a permit to let the aircraft fly non-revenue to a base for repair. I spoke to the captain; the dispatcher; maintenance control; the airline operations manager; and engineering.I discussed with all parties the intent to ferry the aircraft to ZZZ1 for blade replacement and engine boroscope. The situation is under review due to the fact the damage was not documented properly in the logbook and the jobcard was not filled out correctly. Also; the engine run was not documented; although maintenance control had the on-call mechanic run the engine. Also; the crew encountered the bird on approach; the engine did not suffer parameter shifts. I spoke to the captain directly. He had no issues with the maintenance ferry.in the future; I will ensure more documentation in the logbook and follow the maintenance procedures more closely. We also have a new procedure to put a copy of engineering's 'ok to ferry' in our maintenance ferry logbook. I forgot to copy the e-mail out that I received from engine engineering; but I did call and received a verbal 'ok.' I have since maintenance ferried aircraft with engineering concurrence and have saved the e-mails as required.
