Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €175,000
€173,250 to €175,000

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 68 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 243 awards for Research & development in Ireland.

€175,000
Median award

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.

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

One dot per award, on the day it was signed, sized by its value. A ring is an award with no published value.
