Telecommunications equipment and supplies market in Spain: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Spain awarded 250 supply contracts for telecommunications equipment and supplies through award notices on TED; the 225 of them that state a value (90%) add up to €233 million. Spain imported €8.41 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to telecommunications equipment and supplies in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8517; all buyers, not only public ones), up 17.9% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 274 companies have won 642 public supply contracts for telecommunications equipment and supplies in Spain, in 526 award notices from 215 public buyers.
  • 95.6% of these awards went to companies registered in Spain; the most frequent foreign origin is Italy.

  • 37.5% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Spain — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €192 billion in 2025, 11.3% 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.
