Framework guidance

We are frequently asked to explain how framework agreements operate in practice, and the practicalities around call-offs under frameworks.

The guidance below answers some of the common queries on framework agreements, and explains when use of a framework is appropriate and how to call-off under a framework.

Some other frequently asked questions about frameworks are answered in our procurement Q&As section.
