Building installation work market in Netherlands: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

  • Since November 2023, 59 companies have won 70 public supply contracts for building installation work in Netherlands, in 46 award notices from 38 public buyers.
  • 97.1% of these awards went to companies registered in Netherlands; the most frequent foreign origin is Belgium.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Netherlands — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €242 billion in 2025, 20.7% 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.
