How is the overall volume of Euro 110.53 million distributed over the duration of the contract? |
From today’s point of view it is very hard to make an estimation. Based on our experience with the European Commission we assume an equipartition of the revenues over the four years. |
|
Is a defined amount of purchasing volume of the European Commission guaranteed in the contract? |
This agreement is the result of an open public tender of the European Commission which PC-WARE won. After having been working with the Commission on the basis of a similar agreement since 2004, we view the recently signed contract as the prolongation of the successful relationship between PC-WARE and the European Commission. Until 2010 PC-WARE again is the exclusive supplier for all Non-Microsoft Software for the European and its suborganisations. From experience we know, that the total volume of the contract reflects the sum of all budgets of the enrolled organisations. We expect the volume to be exploited over the four years. |
|
Is a prolongation of this agreement possible or prearranged yet? |
Following an open call for tenders, PC-WARE was awarded the market fort he acquisition of non-Microsoft software products fort he European Commission and ist suborganisations. The duration of the contract is 4 years. Towards the end of the agreement we expect the European Commission to initiate a new tendering process, in which PC-WARE intends to participate again. |
|
Will the short- and mid-term financial guidance be adjusted in the context of this contract? |
For two reasons an adjustment of the financial guidance is not necessary. Firstly, assuming an equal distribution of the contract volume over the 4 years, the additional revenue per year can be estimated to be Euro 27.6 million, which represents less than 4% of the expected revenue of Euro 700 million in the financial year 2006/07. Secondly, we expect only a minor share of the volume to materialise in the remaining months of the current financial year. |
