CPV codes are an important tool for helping you find the right Welsh public sector tenders.
The Common Procurement Vocabulary or ‘CPV’ code has been developed by the European Union to help categorise your company’s products or services. Some example CPV codes are shown below:
- 60122130 Transport services using vehicles adapted for bulk goods
- 60122140 Transport services using container vehicles
- 60122150 Transport services using furniture-removal vehicles
Their main purpose is to help buyers classify their contracts consistently and help suppliers like you find
tenders in Wales that match your company’s products or services. It is mandatory for buyers to publish at least one CPV code when advertising EU tenders.
How should I use CPV codes?
When you register on the site, you’ll be asked to categorise your businesses products and services using these CPV codes and you can edit them in your profile later. This is an important step in the registration process as:
- Buyers search for companies like yours using CPVs
- You’re notified of suitable contracts using CPVs
You can select as many CPV codes as you like and the more relevant codes you choose, the more tenders in Wales you’ll find that are suitable for your business.
