Document background
The Enterprise Framework Agreement is a strategic commercial contract used when businesses in the Philippines seek to establish a long-term relationship for recurring transactions. It serves as a master agreement that sets out the fundamental terms and conditions governing future transactions, while allowing flexibility for specific orders through call-off mechanisms. This document type is particularly valuable for enterprises engaging in regular procurement of goods or services, as it eliminates the need to negotiate full contracts for each transaction. Compliant with Philippine law, including the Civil Code, E-Commerce Act, and Data Privacy Act, it typically includes provisions for ordering procedures, pricing mechanisms, service levels, governance, and dispute resolution. The framework structure is especially suitable for high-value, complex relationships where standardization and efficiency in contracting are priorities.
