Repair, maintenance and associated services of vehicles and related equipment market in Europe: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in 30 European countries awarded 900 supply contracts for repair, maintenance and associated services of vehicles and related equipment through award notices on TED; the 580 of them that state a value (64.4%) add up to €1.16 billion.

  • Since November 2023, 1,004 companies have won 2,296 public supply contracts for repair, maintenance and associated services of vehicles and related equipment in 30 European countries, in 1,294 award notices from 653 public buyers.
  • 1.8% of these awards went to a company registered in a different country from the buyer; the most frequent foreign origin is United Kingdom.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 7.9% of all awards across Europe.
  • 35.8% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in the EU-27 — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €2.93 trillion in 2025, 15.5% 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.
