But the real work begins once the contract is signed. For many organisations, the initial excitement can obscure the crucial details of a framework contract, leading to misaligned expectations and potential issues down the line.
Framework contracts with EU institutions are highly complex. Organisations are often so focused on service delivery that they misjudge or overlook critical elements such as reporting, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). This misunderstanding can lead to frustration, non-compliance, and ultimately, a loss of business.
Our approach ensures an organisation is prepared from day one. We act as a strategic partner, providing a proactive "check-up" of the framework contract's technical and administrative requirements. We guide organisations on how to avoid common pitfalls by helping them to navigate the complexities and truly understand their obligations. This includes providing guidance on how to sell services in line with the FWC agreements and how to build a strong business relationship with the EU institution.
By defining these critical elements upfront, we help organisations navigate the initial complexities and avoid the frustration, non-compliance, and financial loss that can undermine the contractual setup. The outcome is a clear, actionable roadmap that ensures all work is delivered efficiently, on time, and to the highest standards. This proactive setup ensures that the business relationship is based on a shared vision, leading to smooth project execution and long-term success.
