"Dispute Resolution in Public Procurement Contracts" shows that these disputes can be resolved on average almost a year faster through arbitration than in court.
"Costs of arbitration and apportionment of costs under the SCC Rules" provides fresh data following the SCC's previous report on the subject from 2016.
The costs consist of the fee to the arbitrators/mediator, the administrative fee of the SCC and any expenses incurred.
The SCC determines the costs based on the amount in dispute, which is the total value of all claims, counterclaims and set-offs. This means that the parties often can anticipate the arbitration costs. Use the calculator to estimate such costs.
When the amount in dispute exceeds EUR 100 000 000 the SCC Board determines the Advance on Costs based on a case by case analysis.
