Computer equipment and supplies market in Italy: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Italy awarded 155 supply contracts for computer equipment and supplies through award notices on TED; the 141 of them that state a value (91%) add up to €547 million. Italy imported €6.64 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to computer equipment and supplies in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8471 and 8473; all buyers, not only public ones), up 5.6% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 222 companies have won 441 public supply contracts for computer equipment and supplies in Italy, in 297 award notices from 148 public buyers.
  • 98.4% of these awards went to companies registered in Italy; the most frequent foreign origin is Germany.

  • 33.4% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Italy — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €274 billion in 2025, 12.1% 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.
