Networks market in France: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in France awarded 131 supply contracts for networks through award notices on TED; the 42 of them that state a value (32.1%) add up to €141 million, a floor rather than the full contract value.

  • Since November 2023, 154 companies have won 305 public supply contracts for networks in France, in 160 award notices from 136 public buyers.
  • 99.3% of these awards went to companies registered in France; the most frequent foreign origin is BEN.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 19% of all awards.
  • 16.2% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in France — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €486 billion in 2025, 16.2% 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.
