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.
