Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €125,000
€80,000 to €123,750

Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 85% of their published estimate, half of them between 64% and 99%, based on 204 awards of the last 3 years.

Each award is compared with the estimate of the same lots, framework agreements excluded. A published estimate may include options and renewals, so an award under it is not always a discount.

Based on 12 comparable contracts this buyer awarded in this sector over the last 4 years.
