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:

  1. 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;

  2. 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,

  3. To set the terms for works or services, e.g., maintenance where the volume cannot be reliably set in advance.

DTI Framework Arrangement & Agreement  - A List

DTI management units are strongly advised to take advantage of the range of Framework Arrangements and Agreements which are already in place and are listed below.
