Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €25,000,000
€25.0M to €25.0M

Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 100% of their published estimate, half of them between 100% and 100%, based on 468 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 buyer has paid before

Based on 13 comparable contracts this buyer awarded in this sector over the last 4 years.
