Therefore, the contract values for the procurement and/or each lot stated in this notice (not withstanding Section II.1.7 and Sections V.2.4 above) are the NTMA’s best estimate of the value of the framework and/or lot and should not be taken as a definitive indication or guarantee of the volume of services that may be required by the NTMA under the framework and/or each lot due to the variable demand for these services.
