In 2025, public buyers in Estonia awarded 42 supply contracts for navigational and meteorological instruments through award notices on TED; the 10 of them that state a value (23.8%) add up to €851,841, a floor rather than the full contract value. Estonia imported €35.3 million of goods in the customs headings matched to navigational and meteorological instruments in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8526 and 9014; all buyers, not only public ones), up 102.3% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 58 companies have won 85 public supply contracts for navigational and meteorological instruments in Estonia, in 41 award notices from 7 public buyers.
  • 84.7% of these awards went to companies registered in Estonia; the most frequent foreign origin is Finland.

  • 30.6% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

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.

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