  • Since November 2023, 436 companies have won 2,938 public supply contracts for laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) in Poland, in 1,184 award notices from 218 public buyers.
  • 98.3% of these awards went to companies registered in Poland; the most frequent foreign origin is Germany.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Poland — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €133 billion in 2025, 14.4% 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.
