Presentation on Aviation Company

Does "concesiones" mean "grants" or perhaps simply "contracts" here? Also, is there a better way of translating "administraciones públicas" than the literal "public administrations"?

Thanks very much in advance for your help.

"El 85%-90% de los ingresos de las compañías del sector se basa en **concesiones con administraciones públicas**.
El principal servicio demandado es la lucha contra incendios forestales, aunque también de protección civil,
sanitarios y polivalentes.
Alargamiento de la duración de los contratos en los últimos años: de cuatro meses a los seis actuales en
contratos de dos años prorrogables a cuatro.
Las principales administraciones demandantes de éstos servicios son las Comunidades Autónomas y el
Ministerio de Medio Ambiente."
