If a Lot becomes vacant during the Contract period, Apex may offer the affected Lot to an appointed Supplier that submitted a compliant Tender for that Lot, in accordance with the Contract. In these circumstances, Apex may permit a Supplier to deliver a maximum of three Lots. Any reallocation will be subject to the Supplier's acceptance and capacity and may be temporary or apply for the remainder of the affected Lot's Contract term.
