Expected award price
- likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €1,300,000
- €1.2M to €1.3M
Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 100% of their published estimate, half of them between 92% and 100%, based on 97 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.

- of the awards went to the three most frequent winners
- 11%
- of its calls state an estimated value
- 53%
Based on 54 awards with a named winner over the last 3 years. Counted by award, not by value, because lot and framework amounts are not comparable. Concentrated means the three most frequent winners took 65% or more of the awards; many suppliers, under 35% with at least ten different winners.
Competition

As the official award notices state them, over the last 3 years. Tenders per lot count open and restricted procedures only: in a negotiated procedure or a direct award a single tender is the procedure itself. The country is the one the notice gives for the winner.
One dot per award, on the day it was signed, sized by its value. A ring is an award with no published value.
