The contracting parties have the right to enter into an agreement that the supplementation of essential conditions will be carried out not by drawing up additional contracts, but on the basis of an application from the counterparty.

In order to avoid legal and business conflicts, it is better to precede this form of cooperation by agreeing on limits in advance. Within their framework, the party that determines the missing essential condition can express its will. For example, for the organization of work, this may be the start and end dates, the composition of machinery and equipment, the volume of actions performed in one work shift, etc.

This model of implementing a framework agreement does not impose any liability on the parties other than that expressly stated in the text of the contract.

In scientific literature, many specialists pay attention to the aspect of interaction between commercial entities in the legal plane. In particular, the problem of using framework agreements with execution by preliminary orders was mentioned in his commentary to Art. 429.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation by Doctor of Law, Professor A. G. Karapetov, in which he proposes to consider such an agreement as a type of option agreement.

In essence, a preliminary agreement is intended for long-term, repeated use without specifying the subject and conditions. But, on the other hand, there are all the signs of an option agreement, since the execution is determined by a unilateral expression of will, to which the counterparty cannot be forced. The decision to form an order is made by the party independently.

But the courts still remain conservative when making decisions and in practice do not make such conclusions about the framework-option genesis of the contract, supplemented by unilateral applications. At least, such formulations are not found in published decisions.
