Armed forces and defence agencies in Luxembourg

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 Luxembourg came to €417 million in 2025 (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.

Company size is the SME flag of the notice (eForms BT-165). Read the methodology.
