English translation:base contract
Explanation:
This has an exact equivalent in English, so I think you should use it. It means the same as framework contract, and it's possible that the parties sign additional agreements for specific supplies.

Base Contract for Sale and Purchase of Natural Gas

The parties' agreement consisted of a “Base Contract for Supply of Electricity” together with a “Transaction Confirmation for Supply of Electricity".

disagree  philgoddard: Your reference happens to contain the phrase "joint venture", but it doesn't support your answer. Joint venture is "empresa conjunta".

disagree  Aurie Escobar Ramsey: agree with Phil Goddard, this does not describe an agreement that sets forth the standard terms and conditions of the relationship.

framework agreement


Explanation:
I agree with Phil Goddard's comment regarding the term "framework agreement", and actually prefer it, in my humble opinion.

Definition. A framework is an agreement with suppliers to establish terms governing contracts that may be awarded during the life of the agreement. In other words, it is a general term for agreements that set out terms and conditions for making specific purchases (call-offs).

National framework agreement for the supply of natural gas to the Scottish public sector.

master agreement


Explanation:
Similar to framework agreement, but more in use in US. This type of agreement would typically provide for attachment of Statements of Work for specific projects.
