Framework documents: collection
A collections page for framework documents between sponsor departments and their arm’s length bodies.
Framework documents between sponsor departments and their arm’s length bodies (ALBs) are a requirement of Managing Public Money.
A framework document sets out arrangements for departments to monitor and understand their ALB’s strategy, performance and delivery. They are a core constitutional document of the ALB and it is imperative that accounting officers, board members and senior officials are familiar with them, ensure they are kept up to date and use them as a guide to govern the collaborative relationship between the ALB, the sponsor or shareholder department and the rest of government. There is a joint obligation on officials and employees within the ALB and within the sponsor or shareholder department to be familiar with, update and comply with its terms as appropriate.
Guidance on and templates for framework documents can be found here.
