Construction materials and associated items market in Norway: size, suppliers and public contracts
Market size and key facts
In 2025, public buyers in Norway awarded 44 supply contracts for construction materials and associated items through award notices on TED; the 11 of them that state a value (25%) add up to €7.33 million, a floor rather than the full contract value.
- Since November 2023, 57 companies have won 139 public supply contracts for construction materials and associated items in Norway, in 101 award notices from 67 public buyers.
- 98.6% of these awards went to companies registered in Norway; the most frequent foreign origin is France.

- 19.2% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.
In proportion
All public purchasing in Norway — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €69.3 billion in 2025, 14.7% 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.

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.
