Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Framework agreements allow organisations to establish terms with one or more suppliers for repeated purchases of goods, services or works, and then place individual call-off orders as needs arise. Used well, they reduce procurement time, secure better prices and build strong supplier relationships. Used poorly, they lead to non-compliant awards, uncontrolled spending and frustrated users.
This Framework Agreements and Call-Off Contract Management training course explains how to design, establish and manage frameworks effectively. Participants learn about single and multi-supplier frameworks, direct award and mini-competition procedures, pricing mechanisms, call-off terms, performance management, spend control and framework renewal, with particular attention to public procurement compliance.
The course is relevant to both buyers managing frameworks and suppliers delivering work under them.
