Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €1,639
€770 to €1,475

Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 64% of their published estimate, half of them between 47% and 90%, based on 27 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.
