CPVkoodit

CPVkoodit, or Common Procurement Vocabulary codes, is a standardized classification system used in public procurement to ensure consistency and clarity in the description of goods, services, and works. Developed by the European Union, CPVkoodit is widely adopted across member states and beyond, providing a common language for procurement professionals, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

The CPV system is hierarchical, with codes organized into categories, subcategories, and further divisions. Each code is assigned a unique identifier, typically consisting of eight digits, which allows for precise classification of procurement items. The first two digits of a CPV code represent the main category, while the subsequent digits provide more detailed information.

CPVkoodit covers a broad range of procurement items, including construction works, supplies, and services. It is designed to facilitate the comparison of tenders, the evaluation of bids, and the monitoring of public procurement activities. By using CPVkoodit, public authorities can ensure that procurement processes are transparent, competitive, and in line with EU regulations.

The CPV system is regularly updated to reflect changes in the market and to incorporate new types of goods, services, and works. This ensures that it remains relevant and effective in supporting public procurement practices. For suppliers, CPVkoodit provides a clear framework for understanding the types of procurement opportunities available and for preparing competitive bids.
