Yes, provided that this is a typical call-off and the purpose is not to distort competition. Call-off contracts can continue after the relevant framework agreement has expired. The 2014 EU Directive, the source of the 2015 Regulations, expressly states at Recital 62 that that, “while contracts based on a framework agreement are to be awarded before the end of the term of the framework agreement itself, the duration of the individual contracts based on a framework agreement does not need to coincide with the duration of that framework agreement, but might, as appropriate, be shorter or longer. In particular, it should be allowed to set the length of individual contracts based on a framework agreement taking account of factors such as the time needed for their performance, where maintenance of equipment with an expected useful life of more than four years is included or where extensive training of staff to perform the contract is needed”.
That said, there is a general prohibition on using framework agreements improperly or in a manner which distorts competition and this should be kept in mind when setting the term of a call-off contract.
