Explanation:
This is a common term used in the European Union and business. Does it stand alone or is it followed by a noun? This would change the translation.

FHA - Framework Hiring Agreement


Explanation:

neutral  FVS (X): Your Leicester thing either refers to a contract pursuant to the framework agreement or they need a new head of legal services. This is not right.
