Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €1,347,225
€592,779 to €1.2M

Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 56% of their published estimate, half of them between 44% and 90%, based on 367 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 662 awards for Hotel, restaurant & catering services in Italy.

€1.3M
