Who sells consulting to Frankfurt am Main and Hesse? The large public buyers

The ECB, the Bundesbank, KfW, BaFin, the city of Frankfurt, the Hesse ministries and agencies, the university and its hospital, Fraport and GIZ: their public consulting awards of the last 24 months, the firms that win them and what is open now. 305 awards from 45 buyers in Frankfurt and Hesse in the data; data of 2026-10-30.

Coverage, in plain words: the ECB publishes most of its tenders on its own portal, not on TED, so only part of its consulting work shows here. Notices from German registers carry no region, so Hesse buyers that publish only there are missed or counted without a place. Pages marked "little data" have fewer than 5 consulting awards in 24 months.

Which large public buyers in Frankfurt and Hesse buy consulting, and how much?

By consulting awards in the last 24 months: GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) 181, KfW Bankengruppe 24, Deutsche Bundesbank 19, Hessen state agencies (Landesbehörden) 16, BaFin (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) 6. Spending is the published value of awards other than frameworks; KfW and the ECB buy mostly through frameworks, whose value is only a ceiling.

What is open now in Frankfurt and Hesse?

7 consulting calls of these buyers were open on 2026-10-30.

Which Frankfurt buyers are not in the data, and why?

Not found under any spelling: EIOPA (European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority), Messe Frankfurt. EIOPA, as an EU agency, publishes its calls on TED and on the Commission's eTendering portal; none of them was classed as consulting from EUR 15,000 up in the data. Messe Frankfurt GmbH (owned by the city and the Land) is a company under private law and publishes no consulting tender on TED. The ECB is not bound by the EU procurement directives and publishes only part of its tenders on TED, so its page shows only some of its consulting work.

Which other buyers in Hesse buy consulting?

32 more buyers whose notices give a region in Hesse (NUTS DE7) had a consulting award in the last 24 months; the most: Bundesamt für Wirtschaft und Ausfuhrkontrolle (BAFA) (3); DB InfraGO AG – Geschäftsbereich Fahrweg (Bukr 16) (3); AOK - Die Gesundheitskasse in Hessen (2). German national-register notices carry no region, so some are missed.

Where do these figures come from?

Arquestra Consulting Market Radar, built 2026-10-30 from TED (eForms) and national registers (Germany: the federal Bekanntmachungsservice): public consulting awards from EUR 15,000 up of the last 24 months (strategy, transformation, platform implementation, software build & run). Buyers whose notices give a NUTS region in Hesse (DE7; DE712 is Frankfurt am Main), plus the list above. Notices from German national registers carry no region, so some Hesse buyers are missed.
