Miscellaneous transport equipment and spare parts market in Ireland: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Ireland awarded 89 supply contracts for miscellaneous transport equipment and spare parts through award notices on TED; the 31 of them that state a value (34.8%) add up to €274 million, a floor rather than the full contract value.

  • Since November 2023, 159 companies have won 235 public supply contracts for miscellaneous transport equipment and spare parts in Ireland, in 139 award notices from 65 public buyers.
  • 68.9% of these awards went to companies registered in Ireland; the most frequent foreign origin is United Kingdom.

  • 20% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Ireland — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €50.3 billion in 2025, 8.3% 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.
