Equipment hire agreement—checklist

Equipment hire agreement—checklist Scope and purpose This Checklist sets out the key considerations when drafting, reviewing or negotiating an equipment hire agreement. Equipment hire agreements may also be referred to as equipment leases, equipment rental, operating leases or finance leases. This Checklist uses the term equipment hire agreement for ease of reference. It is drafted from the perspective of the hiring customer under the lease. See also accompanying Precedents: Equipment hire agreement—pro-customer and Equipment hire agreement—pro-supplier. This Checklist seeks to present issues that are aimed to protect the hiring customer’s (or lessee) interests in relation to an equipment hire agreement which has been drawn up by the supplier (or lessor) (as is usually the case with equipment hire agreements). Terms such as ‘lessor’, ‘lessee’, ‘hirer’ and similar do seem to cause a lot of confusion within these types of arrangement. In this Checklist the ‘hiring customer’ or ‘lessee’ is the party who is taking the equipment on lease and the ‘supplier’ or ‘lessor’ is the party who supplies the equipment...

Introduction to framework agreements and dynamic purchasing systems

Introduction to framework agreements and dynamic purchasing systems Brexit, and public procurement reform The UK public procurement regime derives from EU public procurement laws, and was therefore impacted by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, but only to a limited extent. In all material respects, the public procurement regime in the UK continues with minimal changes. That is until the forthcoming public procurement reform comes into force. For further reading, see Practice Note: Public procurement reform. Public Contracts Regulations 2015 Under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015), certain public bodies must comply with various regulations governing the offer and entry into contracts. The relevant public bodies are defined as 'contracting authorities' in PCR 2015, reg 2(1). For background reading, see Practice Note: Introduction to public contracts procurement—Contracting authorities. Contracting authorities must not design a procurement process with the intention of excluding it from the scope of PCR 2015 or artificially narrowing competition. For this purpose, competition is artificially narrowed where the design of the procurement is made with...

Can call-off agreement under a framework agreement be awarded on different terms to those set out in the original framework? If a tenderer marks-up the call-off terms at mini-competition stage, could the contract be awarded and entered into based on the mark-up? Framework agreements can be set up in a variety of ways under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, SI 2015/102 (PCR 2015, SI 2015/102). However, PCR 2015, SI 2015/102, reg 33(6) states: ‘Contracts based on a framework agreement may under no circumstances entail substantial modifications to the terms laid down in that framework agreement’ The latitude afforded to the contracting authorities will be set out in the relevant framework agreement itself.

Are there any restrictions on the amount a contracting authority's may invoice (a management fee/charge) a supplier appointed to a framework for managing that framework?

Are there any restrictions on the amount a contracting authority's may invoice (a management fee/charge) a supplier appointed to a framework for managing that framework? Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015), SI 2015/102, reg 33(2) defines a framework agreement as: ‘an agreement between one or more contracting authorities and one or more economic operators, the purpose of which is to establish the terms governing contracts to be awarded during a given period, in particular with regard to price and, where appropriate, the quantity envisaged.’ The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) guidance on framework agreements provides the following interpretation: ‘a framework agreement is a general phrase for agreements with providers that set out terms and conditions under which agreements for specific purchases (known as call-off contracts) can be made throughout the term of the agreement. In most cases a framework agreement will not itself commit either party to purchase or supply, but the procurement to establish a framework agreement is subject to the EU procurement rules.’ Further guidance on the use...
