Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €2,280,000
€2.0M to €2.3M

Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 100% of their published estimate, half of them between 89% and 100%, based on 30 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 50 awards for Postal & telecommunications services in Netherlands.
