Miscellaneous equipment market in Slovakia: size, suppliers and public contracts
Market size and key facts

- Since November 2023, 57 companies have won 162 public supply contracts for miscellaneous equipment in Slovakia, in 151 award notices from 22 public buyers.
- 84.6% of these awards went to companies registered in Slovakia; the most frequent foreign origin is Czechia.

In proportion
All public purchasing in Slovakia — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €19.3 billion in 2025, 13.9% 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.

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.
