VI.3)

[InfoAdditional]

During the lifetime of the Contracts, the Central Bank may require the successful tenderer to provide additional subscriptions that are relevant to the Central Bank’s requirements. Where the Central Bank notifies the successful tenderer of such a requirement, the successful tenderer will be required to submit the associated costs to the Central Bank for agreement.
The figure in Section II.1.7, and the figures in Sections V.2.4 for each sub-lot, represents the Central Bank’s best estimate of the anticipated total value, but it is not possible to be definitive in this regard by virtue of nature of the relevant services. These figures represent an estimate only and do 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 the figures in Sections II.1.7 and V.2.4.
