Overview

The week of 2–9 August 2026 saw Belgian and EU-institution procurement activity concentrated heavily in IT services, software licensing, and infrastructure. The Service public de Wallonie (the Walloon regional administration) published three separate framework agreements covering mobile devices, general software, and Oracle database licences, together worth more than €47 million. On the awards side, the European Commission's Directorate-General for Digital Services (DG DIGIT) confirmed a contract valued at nearly €4 billion for digital-solution lifecycle management, making it by far the largest single award reported this week.
