Separate ceilings for gift cards and meal benefits

The notice gives an overall estimate of EUR13.6 million for both lots over the initial and possible renewal periods. The buyer's detailed consultation rules separately cap gift-card orders at EUR800,000 excluding VAT per two-year period, compared with EUR6 million for meal benefits. These are maximum purchasing amounts, not guaranteed orders or new card issuance. The combined total should not be described as a gift-card budget. [S01] [S04]
