The CPU usage being reported is the average for a time interval of 15 or 30 minutes, whatever you have defined. At any time during that interval you had more address spaces ready to run than you had CP to accommodate hence the CPU contention. Good luck trying to explain that to management.

Post CPU Upgradation CPU Contention reduced to around 20%. However CPU Usage is still hardlt 50% tht time ... what allfactors contribute for CPU Contention ? Ideally speaking if CPU Usage is not 100% then there should not be CPU Contention.
