A syndicated contract is a type of approved collaborative contract. Syndicated contracts typically involve a group of agencies aggregating their respective needs and collectively going to market for goods, services or works. There are two types of syndicated contract:
An Open Syndicated Contract (OSC) includes a common use provision allowing other, unspecified agencies to contract with the supplier on the same terms at a later stage.
A Closed syndicated contract is established by a group of named agencies. It is not open for other agencies to join after it has been established.
