Additional information
The estimated figure of 5,000,000 represents the Central Bankโs best estimate of the anticipated total value. It is not possible to be definitive in this regard by virtue of the Central Bankโs variable demand for the relevant services. The figure represents an estimate only and does not amount to a guarantee that any purchases will be made pursuant to the Framework Agreement. The total value may be significantly lower, or indeed significantly higher than this figure. Should the maximum spend be exceeded, the Central Bank would intend to re-tender the opportunity (subject always to the ability to make modifications pursuant to Article 72 of Directive 2014/24).
