Framework Contracts are essential commercial instruments used to establish long-term business relationships while maintaining flexibility for specific transactions. This document type is particularly relevant when parties anticipate multiple transactions or ongoing services but want to avoid negotiating terms for each individual deal. The Framework Contract, governed by Maltese law, sets out the master terms including pricing mechanisms, service standards, ordering procedures, and risk allocation, while allowing for specific details to be agreed through purchase orders or statements of work. It combines elements of both Maltese commercial law and EU regulations, making it suitable for both domestic and international business relationships. The agreement is designed to provide certainty on key terms while maintaining commercial flexibility, particularly valuable for businesses operating in or through Malta's growing commercial sectors.
