For the avoidance of doubt, in submitting a Tender, the Tenderer understands and accepts that the Contracting Authority does not bind itself to ordering any particular quantity of Appliances, shall not be liable to the Tenderer in respect of any commitments it may make until or unless a specific order for a specific number of Appliances is placed and then only in respect of that number, and that the potential value of the framework is given only as an indication of what may be required should full funding be available for this requirement over the period of the Framework
