B4 Frameworks

This chapter covers the Frameworks page — your approved supplier frameworks and pricing schedules. Open it from Tenders > Frameworks in the left navigation. A framework is an approved supplier agreement and its pricing schedule; Vertibid keeps frameworks you have won separately from those you are bidding on.
