Common use of Framework agreements Clause in Contracts

Framework agreements.

An order, on the other hand, is an instruction to provide work under a Framework agreement. Framework agreements enable the Employer to procure on an as-instructed basis (call offs) over a set term without committing to any quantum of work. Such agreements do not bind the Employer to make use of such agreements to meet its needs. The Employer may approach the market for work falling within the scope of work of the Framework agreement, whenever it considers that better value in terms of time, cost and the quality may be obtained.
