Framework Arrangements & Agreements - Definition
Frameworks are
agreements to provide goods, works or services on specified
terms. There are two basic types of Framework:
- Framework Arrangements: contain no contractual commitment
on either side for the provision of any particular quantity.
Although Framework Arrangements involve no commitment to purchase,
they commonly specify the terms and conditions of the eventual
contract that will apply when goods, works or services are
purchased.
- Framework Agreements: incorporate a contractual commitment
to purchase a particular volume or value of goods or services.
Framework Arrangement
& Agreement - Applications
Framework
Arrangements and Agreements have a number of applications, including
the following:
-
To negotiate best value for money centrally
within the Department or nationality for goods and services
in common use that can then be purchased "as and when"
required by individual management units;
-
To give individual management units access
to providers of specialist services that may be required
from time to time, thus relieving users of the need to conduct
individual tendering exercises - such arrangements may offer
a panel of providers from which the end user can select
or may give one provider preferred supplier status; and,
-
To set the terms for works or services, e.g.,
maintenance where the volume cannot be reliably set in advance.
