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.
