Stamps, cheque forms, banknotes, stock certificates, trade advertising material, catalogues and manuals market in Bulgaria: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Bulgaria awarded 45 supply contracts for stamps, cheque forms, banknotes, stock certificates, trade advertising material, catalogues and manuals through award notices on TED; the 45 of them that state a value (100%) add up to €1.88 million.

  • Since November 2023, 32 companies have won 155 public supply contracts for stamps, cheque forms, banknotes, stock certificates, trade advertising material, catalogues and manuals in Bulgaria, in 91 award notices from 37 public buyers.
  • 100% of these awards went to companies registered in Bulgaria.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 45.2% of all awards.
  • 34.3% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Bulgaria — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €14.4 billion in 2025, 12.4% of GDP (Eurostat). Award notices on TED cover only the contracts above the EU thresholds, so they show who wins, not the whole of that spending.
