Framework agreements and call offs

Call offs from a framework or collaborative agreement

Each framework has its own rules. How you buy goods or services depends on the requirements setout in the individual framework.

Framework agreements

Framework agreements are contracts that have already been advertised and tendered by a public body so other public bodies can use them.

Common providers include:

  • Crown Commercial Services (CCS)
  • Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO)
