Public Tenders in Vienna – Figures, Sectors & Procurement

Public Tenders in Vienna

Vienna is one of Austria's nine federal states and, at the same time, the federal capital. Public contracting authorities in Vienna – including the City of Vienna with its municipal departments and Wien Holding, numerous federal agencies, ministries and nationwide procurers based in Vienna (among them the Federal Procurement Agency, Bundesbeschaffung GmbH), the Wiener Linien (Vienna's public transport operator), as well as universities and hospitals (AKH/MedUni Wien) – continuously put supply, construction and service contracts out to tender. For companies, Vienna is therefore an important market for public contracts.

Tenders in Vienna in Figures

In 2025, the evaluated EU-wide procurement data (TED) recorded 7,498 public notices relating to Vienna. This means that around 64.4% of all EU procedures classified across Austria are attributable to Vienna (rank 1 of 9).

Note on classification: Because numerous nationwide procurement offices, ministries and the Federal Procurement Agency (Bundesbeschaffung GmbH) are based in Vienna, many Austria-wide procurements are assigned here to the Vienna location. The actual delivery of services partly takes place across all of Austria.

The main focus is on construction works (CPV 45, 2,040 procedures), architectural, engineering & planning services (CPV 71, 1,284 procedures), and business services (legal, marketing, consulting) (CPV 79, 490 procedures). Across all Austrian federal states, construction works (CPV 45), architectural and engineering services (CPV 71), transport equipment (CPV 34), as well as IT and business services (CPV 72/79) dominate.

Data basis: The figures are based on the EU-wide published notices (TED) for the year 2025. Purely national contracts – that is, those below the EU thresholds – are not fully included here; the actual number of all tenders is therefore higher.

Procurement Law and Procurement Platforms in Vienna

In Austria, public contracts in Vienna are published via the Austrian Contractor Register (Auftragnehmerkataster Österreich, ANKÖ) and the Federal Procurement Agency (Bundesbeschaffung GmbH, BBG), as well as the respective procurement offices of the province. EU-wide procedures above the thresholds are additionally published in the Official Journal of the EU via TED (Tenders Electronic Daily).

The legal basis is the Federal Procurement Act 2018 (Bundesvergabegesetz 2018, BVergG 2018), which transposes the EU procurement directives into Austrian law. It governs procedure types, thresholds and legal protection – for contracting authorities in Vienna just as in the rest of the country.
