Expected award price
- likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €130,000
- €54,600 to €119,600
Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 65% of their published estimate, half of them between 42% and 92%, based on 809 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.
