English term or phrase: maintain an installable Spare Engine to installed Engine ratio of not less than
This sentence is in a letter of agreement concerning the provision of Aircraft Engines and Spare Parts.

I am not quite sure of the meaning of this sentence: "agrees to maintain an installable Spare Engine to installed Engine ratio of not less than 12.5%".

Any hep would be much appreciated.

not less than: não inferior a; pelo menos

Note: The context is not clear whether they mean 12.5% more or 12.5% less in relation to each other. I suggest clarifying this with the client.
