Framework agreement

contracting entities in the field of sectors may award a framework agreement as a works, supply or service contract. Contracts based on a framework agreement shall be awarded in accordance with objective rules and criteria, such as the reopening of competition between those companies that were parties to the framework agreement at the time of its conclusion. These rules and criteria shall be specified in the tender documents and shall ensure equal treatment of the enterprises that are party to the framework agreement. In the event of a reopening of competition, the contracting authorities shall set a sufficiently long deadline to allow tenders to be submitted for each individual contract and shall award each contract to the tenderer who has submitted the most economically advantageous tender in accordance with the award criteria. Contracting authorities may not misuse the use of framework agreements to prevent, restrict or distort competition. The term of a framework agreement shall not exceed eight years, except in justified special cases where this can be justified in particular on the basis of the subject matter of the framework agreement (Article 19 ÖAWSG).
The value of a framework agreement is calculated on the basis of the estimated total value of all contracts planned for the entire term of the framework agreement (Art. 14 ÖAWSV).
