This Competition was run under Regulation 74 of the European Union (Award of Public Authority Contracts) Regulations 2016 (the “Regulations”), and accordingly is subject only to limited aspects of the Regulations.
The figures in Sections II.1.7 and V.2.4 of this notice represent the Central Bank’s best estimate of the anticipated total value of the services, but it is not possible to be definitive in this regard by virtue of the Central Bank’s variable demand for the relevant services. The figures represent an estimate only and do not amount to a guarantee that any purchases will be made pursuant to the framework agreement, and therefore the value may be significantly lower or higher than the estimate.
