Procurement glossary

Framework agreement

A pre-qualified arrangement with one or more suppliers from which the buyer can order repeatedly without re-tendering each time.

In depth

Frameworks (or panels) set terms up front, then call off individual orders. Winning a place on a framework is often the real prize — it unlocks a stream of work.
