French term or phrase: contrat à l'appel

Bonjour!

This Term appears in an Employer-Contractor contract and I would appreciate some help with translating it into English. Here it is in context:

Le Maître de l’Ouvrage et l’Entrepreneur conviennent d’exécuter le présent Contrat
Le contrat a été attribué sur la base de contrat à l'appel et il n'y a pas une étendue de travaux minimale garantie selon le présent Contrat.

Merci d'avance ;)

retainer contract

Explanation:
"Retainer contracts, also known as time and material contracts, set a price for the time and material expended on the project. Business agreements involving short cycles of performance often utilize retainer contracts in which the performing party sends an estimate of time and material costs at the end of each cycle."

"Retainer Contracts

For an annual fee, a retainer contract entitles your business to call a Network Support Engineer to site within the guaranteed response period although parts and labour charges do apply."
