Slovenia imported €999 million of goods in the customs headings matched to miscellaneous food products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 1905, 1806, 2106, 1804, 1901 and 19 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 15.4% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 126 companies have won 3,464 public supply contracts for miscellaneous food products in Slovenia, in 330 award notices from 243 public buyers.
  • 100% of these awards went to companies registered in Slovenia; the most frequent foreign origin is Croatia.

  • 21.3% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Slovenia — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €10.9 billion in 2025, 15.4% 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.
