Armed forces and defence agencies in Finland

1 public buyers declaring "Defence" 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 defence in Finland came to €2.59 billion 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.
