Document background
This Subcontractor Framework Agreement is designed for use in the German market where a company wishes to establish a long-term framework for engaging subcontractors. It serves as a master agreement that sets out the general terms and conditions governing the relationship, with specific work packages being commissioned through individual work orders. The document ensures compliance with German legal requirements, including the Civil Code (BGB), Commercial Code (HGB), and relevant employment and social security regulations. It is particularly useful for businesses that regularly engage subcontractors and need a standardized approach to managing these relationships while maintaining legal compliance. The agreement covers essential aspects such as service delivery, quality standards, liability, insurance, data protection, and dispute resolution, all within the context of German law and business practices.
