the region of €5,000,000 to €10,000,000 (ex. VAT) over the lifetime of the agreement. It is
emphasised, however, that this figure is provided strictly for indicative purposes only as

without prejudice to the right of RTB to cancel this competitive process and/or initiate a new

framework agreement or any contract awarded under the framework agreement at any
