Document background
The Contract Framework Agreement serves as a foundational document for establishing long-term business relationships in South Africa, designed to streamline future transactions between parties by setting out standard terms and conditions that will apply to all subsequent agreements. This type of agreement is particularly useful for ongoing commercial relationships where multiple transactions or services will be performed over time, reducing the need to negotiate terms for each individual transaction. The framework must comply with South African legislation, including the Consumer Protection Act, POPIA, and B-BBEE requirements where applicable, while providing sufficient flexibility to accommodate specific commercial needs through individual order forms or statements of work.
