Because of the extended service provision, as well as inflation and other service developments, the estimated value of chargeable services under the Framework by 31 December 2026 will be 9 365 000 EUR. This requires raising the advertised ceiling of services to be provided and charged for under the existing agreement as so extended from the advertised maximum of 7 000 000 EUR. This does not involve an enhancement of more than 50% of the initial value of the Framework Agreement.
