Document background
The Supplier Relationship Agreement serves as a foundational document for establishing and managing commercial relationships between organizations for the procurement of goods and/or services. This contract type is essential when businesses need to create a structured framework for ongoing supplier relationships, particularly in scenarios involving regular orders, complex service requirements, or strategic partnerships. The agreement, governed by Dutch law, encompasses crucial elements such as ordering procedures, performance standards, risk allocation, and compliance requirements. It is designed to comply with Dutch civil code requirements and relevant EU regulations, while providing flexibility to accommodate specific business needs through schedules and appendices. The document is particularly valuable for organizations seeking to standardize their supplier relationships, manage risk effectively, and ensure regulatory compliance while maintaining operational efficiency.
