The contractor will coach and support these content creators, develop and implement the campaign strategy and operations together with the buyer, and deliver complementary online marketing measures including monitoring and applying insights to campaign planning.

Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €7,000,000
€5.0M to €7.0M

Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 96% of their published estimate, half of them between 71% and 100%, based on 70 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.

What this market pays

The buyer has too few awards of its own in this sector, so this is the range of the last 843 awards for Business services in Germany.

This notice
€7.0M
Median award
€376,080
Middle half of past awards
€101,400 to €1.1M

The estimate is larger than three in four past awards.

Award values as published by the official sources. Use them as a guide, not a rule: scope, lots and duration differ between contracts.
