   VI.3) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The estimated total value in II.1.5) should be treated as a rough guide and not a constraint. This framework will be accessible to existing and new HALA members. HALA cannot accurately predict the growth in its membership or individual members' expenditure. Expenditure could significantly exceed the estimated total value in the event of high demand.
