Document background
The Contract Framework Agreement is essential for businesses entering into long-term commercial relationships where multiple transactions or services will be provided over time. This document type is particularly valuable in New Zealand's business environment, where it helps organizations streamline their contracting process while ensuring compliance with local legislation such as the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, Fair Trading Act 1986, and Commerce Act 1986. The framework agreement sets out standard terms, operational procedures, and governance structures that will apply to all subsequent specific agreements, reducing negotiation time and ensuring consistency across transactions. It typically includes detailed schedules for pricing, service levels, and operational requirements, while maintaining enough flexibility to accommodate various types of future arrangements without requiring complete renegotiation of terms.
