Expected award price
- likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €1,200,000
- €720,000 to €1.2M
Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 93% of their published estimate, half of them between 60% and 100%, based on 45 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.

Based on 193 awards with a named winner over the last 3 years. Counted by award, not by value, because lot and framework amounts are not comparable. Concentrated means the three most frequent winners took 65% or more of the awards; many suppliers, under 35% with at least ten different winners.
Competition
