Public sector procurement relies heavily on frameworkagreements as a streamlined purchasing tool for goods and services. Pre-negotiated terms are provided that reduce the complexity for contracting authorities in procurement whilst allowing suppliers to capture opportunities more efficiently. What Are FrameworkAgreements?
In this guide we offer practical insights into using frameworks under the new Procurement Act (the Act) and highlight some of the important changes introduced by the Act.
