Computer support and consultancy services market in Europe: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in 30 European countries awarded 401 supply contracts for computer support and consultancy services through award notices on TED; the 355 of them that state a value (88.5%) add up to €555 million.

  • Since November 2023, 466 companies have won 974 public supply contracts for computer support and consultancy services in 30 European countries, in 746 award notices from 315 public buyers.
  • 1% of these awards went to a company registered in a different country from the buyer; the most frequent foreign origin is Austria.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 10.8% of all awards across Europe.
  • 50.3% 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.

How we count: one award per procedure, lot and winning company, from live contract award notices; a joint procurement counts on every buyer's market. Values are the awarded amounts published in the notice (framework ceilings and estimates are never added), converted to euro at the ECB yearly average. Company size is the SME flag of the notice (eForms BT-165). Read the methodology.
