Miscellaneous software package and computer systems market in Germany: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Germany awarded 57 supply contracts for miscellaneous software package and computer systems through award notices on TED; the 15 of them that state a value (26.3%) add up to €6.24 million, a floor rather than the full contract value.

  • Since November 2023, 124 companies have won 162 public supply contracts for miscellaneous software package and computer systems in Germany, in 143 award notices from 109 public buyers.
  • 92% of these awards went to companies registered in Germany; the most frequent foreign origin is Switzerland.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 14.2% of all awards.
  • 42.6% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Germany — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €864 billion in 2025, 19.1% 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.
