Telecommunications equipment and supplies market in Romania: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Romania awarded 199 supply contracts for telecommunications equipment and supplies through award notices on TED; the 142 of them that state a value (71.4%) add up to €124 million. Romania imported €2.41 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to telecommunications equipment and supplies in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8517; all buyers, not only public ones), down 0.8% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 155 companies have won 467 public supply contracts for telecommunications equipment and supplies in Romania, in 151 award notices from 90 public buyers.
  • 98.1% of these awards went to companies registered in Romania; the most frequent foreign origin is Türkiye.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 24% of all awards.
  • 44% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Romania — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €47.7 billion in 2025, 12.5% 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.

Company size is the SME flag of the notice (eForms BT-165). Read the methodology.
