Networks market in Estonia: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

  • Since November 2023, 37 companies have won 169 public supply contracts for networks in Estonia, in 108 award notices from 27 public buyers.
  • 90.5% of these awards went to companies registered in Estonia; the most frequent foreign origin is Latvia.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Estonia — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €6.43 billion in 2025, 15.4% 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.
