  • Since November 2023, 90 companies have won 729 public supply contracts for food, beverages, tobacco and related products in Hungary, in 179 award notices from 58 public buyers.
  • 100% of these awards went to companies registered in Hungary.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Hungary — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €30.3 billion in 2025, 13.8% 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.
