Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €7,370,000
€7.3M to €7.4M

Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 100% of their published estimate, half of them between 99% and 100%, based on 327 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 6 comparable contracts this buyer awarded in this sector over the last 4 years.

€7.4M
Median award
€2.5M
Middle half of past awards

New: no award from the same buyer or market in the two years before.

Competition

of the awards went to companies based in another country

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.
