Specific contracts awarded on the basis of the framework contract concluded may cover all services or only parts of one or more service areas for which a contractor has been authorised.

Applications for admission and thus also the conclusion of a framework contract can be made during the entire duration of the open house procedure. More details are provided in the framework contract.
