Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Slovenia awarded 283 supply contracts for motor vehicles through award notices on TED; the 262 of them that state a value (92.6%) add up to €110 million. Slovenia imported €8.75 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to motor vehicles in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 8703, 8704, 8702 and 8705; all buyers, not only public ones), up 32% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 136 companies have won 729 public supply contracts for motor vehicles in Slovenia, in 375 award notices from 171 public buyers.
  • 97% of these awards went to companies registered in Slovenia; the most frequent foreign origin is Croatia.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 21.3% of all awards.
  • 65.8% 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.
