Czechia imported €7.09 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to fuels in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 2710, 2711, 2701, 2704, 2703 and 3 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), down 12.6% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 72 companies have won 1,614 public supply contracts for fuels in Czechia, in 943 award notices from 268 public buyers.
  • 99.2% of these awards went to companies registered in Czechia; the most frequent foreign origin is Slovakia.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Czechia — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €50.5 billion in 2025, 14.5% 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.

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