Managing Framework Agreements and Call Off Contracts

Framework agreements let African organisations lock in pricing and terms once, then draw down repeatedly through call off orders, but they only deliver value when they are set up and managed well. This course shows procurement teams how to design frameworks, run mini competitions, and control call off spend so that convenience does not turn into uncontrolled purchasing. Delegates learn to keep frameworks competitive over their full term.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain when a framework agreement is the right contracting approach.
  • Design single and multi supplier frameworks with clear call off rules.
  • Run mini competitions and direct call offs fairly and defensibly.
  • Control call off volumes, pricing and aggregated spend across the term.
  • Monitor framework performance and manage supplier rotation.
  • Plan framework renewal, extension and exit in good time.
