Document background
The Supply Framework Agreement is designed for businesses seeking to establish a long-term supply relationship under Dutch law. It is particularly suitable when parties anticipate multiple transactions over time and want to avoid negotiating terms for each individual order. This document type defines the master terms governing the supply relationship, including ordering processes, pricing structures, quality requirements, and risk allocation. It incorporates key requirements of Dutch contract law and relevant EU regulations, while providing flexibility to accommodate specific commercial needs through schedules and purchase orders. The framework structure allows parties to streamline their procurement process while maintaining clear contractual governance. This approach is especially valuable for businesses with regular, recurring supply needs who want to establish standardized terms while maintaining the ability to adjust commercial terms such as quantity and delivery timing through individual orders.
