Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €218,400
€218,400 to €218,400

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 238 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 427 awards for Hotel, restaurant & catering services in Ireland.

This notice
€218,400
Median award
€730,000
Middle half of past awards
€200,000 to €1.6M

The estimate sits inside the usual range.

Award values as published by the official sources. Use them as a guide, not a rule: scope, lots and duration differ between contracts.
