Emergency and security equipment market in Bulgaria: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Bulgaria awarded 49 supply contracts for emergency and security equipment through award notices on TED; the 46 of them that state a value (93.9%) add up to €29 million.

  • Since November 2023, 72 companies have won 145 public supply contracts for emergency and security equipment in Bulgaria, in 110 award notices from 35 public buyers.
  • 95.9% of these awards went to companies registered in Bulgaria; the most frequent foreign origin is Germany.

  • 30.4% 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.
