Expected award price
- likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €235,000
- €98,700 to €152,750
Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 45% of their published estimate, half of them between 42% and 65%, based on 287 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.
