Project Opportunity: This is a supply procurement by a public body in the Calabria region of Italy for a mountain state-owned land demarcation project, with a total value of €778k, divided into 6 independent lots covering camera poles, signage, cameras, metal fence accessories, road filling materials, etc. Suppliers can choose to bid for single or multiple lots based on their business scope, with no upper limit, offering high flexibility.

Core Lots:

LOT-0006 (Road Filling Materials) and LOT-0005 (Metal Fence Accessories) together account for 81% of the total value and are the core of this tender, suitable for building materials and metal product suppliers to focus on.

LOT-0002 (Signage Posts) is worth approximately €87k, suitable for metalworking or signage companies.

The remaining three lots (cameras, camera poles, outdoor signage) total about €58k, suitable for electronics, security, and advertising product companies.

Evaluation Model: All lots are awarded based on the lowest price, with no non-price weighting factors. Subject to fully meeting the technical specifications, the bidder with the lowest price wins. Bidders must conduct extremely precise cost calculations to provide the most competitive total price.
