Armed forces and defence agencies in Slovenia

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 Slovenia came to €484 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.

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