In procurement procedures, a framework is an agreement between at least two contracting authorities or suppliers to outline terms governing contracts that could be awarded during the agreement.
Frameworks are not usually contracts, but are simply agreements about the terms and conditions that would be enacted should an order be placed during the lifetime of a framework. A contract can then be made after the order is placed and will exist as its own separate contract. However, a framework can be a contract if the agreement outlines an obligation to purchase.
