Expected award price

likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €35,444,057
€31.9M to €35.4M

Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 97% of their published estimate, half of them between 90% and 100%, based on 149 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.
