When Boskalis announces awarded contracts by means of a press release, an attempt is made to provide an indication of the substance and size of the contract. A qualitative indication of the contract value may be applied, whereby for Boskalis:
- ‘a contract’, refers to a contract with a value less than EUR < 50 million,
- a ‘sizable’ contract (Dutch translation: ‘omvangrijk’), refers to a contract with a value of EUR 50-150 million,
- a ‘substantial’ contract (Dutch translation: ‘substantieel’), refers to a contract with a value of EUR 150-300 million, and
- a ‘large’ contract (Dutch translation: ‘groot’), refers to a contract with a value of more than EUR 300 million.
These qualitative descriptions and bandwidths were introduced by Boskalis on 21 October 2019.
