- In this sector the buyer awards roughly every 4 months (34 awards, most recently August 2026) — the next award is due around January 2027 by that rhythm. The last award went to Aramark GmbH.n = 34
- 59% of this buyer's awards went to companies that had already won here before (3,862 awards since 2017, spread over 1,552 companies). That is well above the sector norm (37%) — newcomers have a harder time here than elsewhere.n = 3,862 awards since 2017
- The median procedure drew 3 bids (3,733 procedures with a bid count); 24% ended with a single bidder. Sector: median 1 bid.n = 3,733
- 26% of the bids received came from other countries (270 procedures with a bid mix) — all bidders, not just the winners. Sector: 9%.n = 270
- The award came in at a median 92% of the estimated value (229 awards with both estimate and value) — pricing at the estimate is usually too high here. Sector: 99%.n = 229

This procedure allows 15 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 20,496 procedures). Much tighter than usual: the first week counts.
