to stay with the initial claim amount (do not adjust it as of now)
Hello,
I could be wrong, but that's how I read it.
ouverture = the initial claim amount
retenir = to stay with
I hope this helps.

Note from asker:
| Hi Matthew, While carrying on with the job, I've thought that I could simply put 'initial offer' |

: I think it is more about the insurer's initial offer (which is probably lower than the claim amount)

I wasn't sure to whom it was referring. I just knew it was about staying with some initial amount.
