Amounts payable under this framework and each lot will be linked to the volume of services required by the NTMA in respect of the Legal Services. 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.
