The above are estimates only and entail no commitment for the contracting authority . 

## 2.5 Nature of the contract 

The procedure will result in the conclusion of framework contracts. 

A framework contract establishes a mechanism for future repetitive purchases by the contracting authority , to be awarded in the form of specific contracts. The signature of a framework contract does not impose an obligation on the contracting authority  to conclude specific contracts with a framework contractor. 

For each lot, a framework contract will be concluded with one contractor. Specific contracts shall be awarded on the basis of the terms laid down in the framework contract and refined, or, in duly justified circumstances, supplemented to reflect the particular circumstances of the specific contract. The details are set out in Article I.4.3 of the Draft Contract. 

Tenderers need to take full account of the provisions of the Draft Contract, as this will define and govern the contractual relationship(s) to be established between the contracting authority  and the successful tenderer(s). Special attention is to be paid to the provisions specifying the rights and obligations of the contractor, in particular those on payments, performance of the contract, confidentiality, and checks and audits.
