THE FILE
A large ceiling built from many notices
Across the last 180 days, AZIENDA OSPEDALIERA UNIVERSITARIA DI CATANIA published 476 distinct notices with a combined advertised value of 153036420 EUR. That is advertised value, not awarded value: it describes the ceiling or amount put to competition, rather than revenue confirmed for a supplier. The median notice was 28800 EUR, indicating that the middle notice was far smaller than the total might suggest. The largest notice, for biennial support and auxiliary assistance, carried an advertised value of 59607644 EUR. For bidders, the distinction between a notice, a framework ceiling and an award matters when judging the opportunity actually available. Repeated framework ceilings were counted once here, so the total is not inflated by repeated versions of the same ceiling.
Medical equipment sets the category pattern
The category breakdown assigns 92% to Medical Equipment, far ahead of Construction Works at 2% and Repair & Maintenance Services at 1%. This points to a procurement programme centred on clinical supply and equipment-related capability, rather than one evenly spread across hospital works and services. Suppliers outside medical equipment may therefore find fewer relevant notices in this set, while medical-equipment businesses face the clearest concentration of opportunity. Category labels are a practical screening tool, but they do not replace checking the specification, eligibility conditions and lot structure. A high category share also does not indicate that one supplier won the work: the figures describe advertised notices, not completed awards.

Published deadlines, but no recorded awards
There were 16 notices open at the time of the snapshot, and deadline information had been published for 100% of the notices. That gives businesses a defined basis for checking whether a live procedure fits their timetable and delivery capacity. The same source records 0 awards and 0 distinct winners, so it cannot show which businesses secured contracts or how competition ended. The absence of an award in these figures is not evidence of impropriety, nor does it show that a procedure lacked bids; it simply limits the conclusions that can be drawn about results. Businesses comparing this buyer with other opportunities should keep the advertised pipeline separate from awarded revenue and treat the largest ceiling as one procedure, not a guaranteed order.
WHY IT MATTERS
A 153036420 EUR advertised pipeline is not awarded revenue. Supplier planning depends on separating notice value, framework ceilings and confirmed awards.
