Organization framework agreements

A framework agreement is a general term for an agreement with a contractor which sets out terms and conditions under which specific call offs can be made throughout the term of the agreement.

Organization framework agreements are available to the entire organization, allowing all business units and project/depts to make call offs from the framework agreement.

However, in some cases, it may be necessary to restrict the business units and project/depts which can make call offs from a particular Organization framework agreement; for example, if there are countries where trade restrictions apply. The list of restricted business units and project/depts is managed in the Contract Configuration for the Organization framework agreement.

The following diagram illustrates how the AVEVA Contract Risk Management hierarchy applies to call offs made from Organization framework agreements.

Who can create and manage Organization framework agreements?

Any user with the Framework Agreements - Create user role access can create an Organization framework agreement.

Appropriate contract roles are required for the management of Organization framework agreements - see Contract roles.

Tip If an Organization framework agreement has been closed and none of the appropriate contract roles have valid users, any user with the Framework Agreements - Maintain Contract Configuration can add a valid user into an appropriate contract role so that they can then reopen the framework agreement
