  • Since November 2023, 312 companies have won 593 public supply contracts for software programming and consultancy services in Spain, in 429 award notices from 249 public buyers.
  • 98.7% of these awards went to companies registered in Spain; the most frequent foreign origin is Belgium.

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.
