Framework agreement for outsourcing
In Planon's Service Providers - Subcontractors solution, a Framework agreement is used as a handshake agreement in which all planned maintenance work that must be outsourced is grouped into a single batch. This concept allows you to conduct better price negotiations about these activities with the subcontractor.
A Framework agreement with a subcontractor contains details on how the contract lines (which are created at the end of the process) should be set up. It can also contain a price list where users can specify a price per service for all activities included in the proposals that are linked to the framework agreement. See Framework agreement price list. A framework agreement can be linked to one or more Outsourcing agreements of a customer, each specifying an applicable period and linked customer contract line.
If you want to allow a subcontractor to define how outsourced maintenance proposals are grouped when outsourced assignments (subcontractor contract lines) are created, you must define a Split method for outsourcing.
