Recital 21
(21) The instrument of framework agreements has been widely used and is considered as an efficient procurement technique throughout Europe. It should therefore be maintained largely as is. However, certain concepts need to be clarified, in particular the conditions for the use of a framework agreement by contracting authorities which are not themselves party to it. It should be permissible to expand the range of parties entitled to be called upon under a framework agreement under conditions laid down in Article 31(2).
