The prices are to be fixed in the entire contract period, with the exception of annual index regulations and they must be equivalent to the prices that were offered in the tender.

If products must be changed in the contract period, they must be replaced by products that have equivalent or better quality at an equivalent or lower price.

There may be some changes to the participating collaborating parties during the contract period. Some new nursing homes and institutions under construction will be given the opportunity to participate, while others will be rejected. In summary, this will not lead to significant changes in volume or delivery obligations.

Municipalities can also change due to merging or other political decisions.

It is desirable to have a uniform portfolio for paper and dispensers. The chosen tenderer will be obliged to replace the existing dispensers if required, so that all the dispensers are suitable for the offered products. Dispensers cannot be invoiced unless the replacement is due to vandalism, damage or other conditions that the Contracting Authority is responsible for
