13Frequently asked questions

What is the expected duration of the framework agreements?
Each framework agreement has an initial term of approximately four years, with two options for the contracting authority to extend for a maximum of twelve months each time.
For which functions and scales is the deployment of temporary agency workers intended?
The deployment concerns all existing functions within the cao Rijk scales 1 to 10.
On the basis of which price level is the rate setting submitted?
The starting point for the submission of the rate setting is the 2025 price level and the current agency cao ABU/NBBU, as statutory premiums and provisions for 2026 will only be definitively known at the end of 2025.
How are changes in the rate setting due to a new cao handled?
If the new agency cao ABU/NBBU (effective as of 1 January 2026) provides cause, changes in the rate setting are conceivable after consultation between the UZKA category and the contractor, whereby the contracting authority ultimately decides.
