Market size and key facts

- Since November 2023, 47 companies have won 77 public supply contracts for post-mortem and mortuary equipment and supplies in Spain, in 18 award notices from 14 public buyers.

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.
General government spending on goods, services and investment for health in Spain came to €54.7 billion in 2024 (Eurostat, COFOG). How much of it reaches suppliers through tenders depends on how the country organises the sector — for example whether statutory health insurance is classified in government.
