framework agreement in public procurement law

Following the creation and implementation of framework agreements in Cameroon, the contracting authority may, since an order of January 31, 2022, under certain conditions, sign contractual documents that will allow to complete, specify, cover needs or services that were not known in advance and that will arise as time goes by. At this level, the framework agreement becomes a method of managing the uncertain, inaccurate or incomplete needs observed in public procurement. This novelty, which comes in addition to the existing regulatory system in this area, favors a better supervision of public procurement in Cameroon. The study of Cameroonian legislation in the light of the texts of other OHADA member countries and of France will lead us to identify its originality in the framework of framework agreements.
