Environment and waste in Estonia

1 public buyers declaring "Environmental protection" as their main activity in their TED notices, with at least ten supply contract award notices since November 2023. The most notices first.

In proportion

General government spending on goods, services and investment for environmental protection in Estonia came to €186 million in 2024 (Eurostat, COFOG). How much of it reaches suppliers through tenders depends on how the country organises the sector — for example whether statutory health insurance is classified in government.

How we count: one award per procedure, lot and winning company, from live contract award notices; a joint procurement counts on every buyer's market. Values are the awarded amounts published in the notice (framework ceilings and estimates are never added), converted to euro at the ECB yearly average. Company size is the SME flag of the notice (eForms BT-165). Read the methodology.
