Framework agreements are used extensively in the UK, accounting for 60% of public expenditure on goods and services. There are however many grey areas in the regulations in respect of setting up and operating frameworks. Key questions are considered in the course from award criteria at call off stage to price revision, who can use the framework and how to conduct call offs and mini competitions.
This is an interactive course and delegates will leave with a clear understanding of how to negotiate the grey areas in the legislation and how to implement good practice, thus reducing the risk of challenge in the courts. The provisions of the new remedies legislation and how they apply to frameworks is also considered.
