Framework Agreements for Robot Supply
A framework can shorten repeat buying, or lock you into a price you never test.
What to define
| Term | Content |
|---|---|
| Scope | Which models, options and services are covered |
| Volume | Committed, indicative or entirely optional |
| Price | Fixed, indexed or re-quoted per call-off |
| Service levels | Response times and spare availability |
| Exit | Notice period and conditions for leaving |
Protect the buyer
- Avoid committing volume you cannot forecast.
- Include a price review mechanism tied to a published index.
- Require quotations for out-of-scope items rather than assuming coverage.
- Set a maximum call-off response time so orders cannot stall.
Frameworks suit repeat buys with predictable specifications. Confirm both parties can terminate for convenience.
