How to sign a Framework Agreement through ProUnity platform?

A Framework Agreement (FA) is a contract between a Supplier & a contracting party that establishes the main terms and conditions of collaboration and contracting between all parties concerned.

Before you can propose a candidate for a job opportunity or a Request for Proposal, you will have to sign a Supplier Framework Agreement between the Supplier and the contracting party (ProUnity). This basic client collaboration agreement will be concluded by a specific Statement Of Work (SOW) for each started and extended individual or team mission.

When consulting the VMS Platform, on the top of a Job Post page or a Request For Proposal page, you will be prompted with a warning message "Read & Accept", that will lead to the Framework Agreement’ signing process. Please find here below, the guidelines on the different steps enabling you to complete and accept the Framework Agreement.

Please note that only Admin users are able to sign a contract. The non-admin Users are allowed to go through the steps without signing it as the acceptance button will be greyed out and followed by a sentence “Only admin users will be able to sign the FA or SOW document”. If you are a non-admin User, please make sure to do the follow-up by contacting the appropriate Admin user of your company. If needed, you can see the list of the Admin users’ emails by clicking on the icon “?” next to the greyed-out acceptance button.

Enabling you to sign a contract and in order to be able to propose a candidate, you will have to go through the following steps:

1. From your dashboard, click on a designated job.
2. As you can see, you are not able to propose a candidate without reading and signing the Framework Agreement first.
   
3. Check your data related to your company. Ensure that the contracting data is correct, completed and valid as this information will be used to automatically generate the Framework Agreement. If this is not the case, please reach out to us at info@pro-unity.com.
   
4. Download the Framework Agreement, ProUnity Terms of Use and ProUnity Privacy Policy.
5. Confirm you have downloaded those documents, then click on “Accept”.
   
   

   Now that you have accepted the framework agreement, you have also accepted all the contracting terms and you can now propose candidates for a specific job. There is no need to return a countersigned contract to ProUnity or to your client.

   Each individual mission will be concluded with a SOW (Statement of Work).
