EU Common Procurement Vocabulary

The EU Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) is a standardized system used to classify and describe goods, services, and works in public procurement across European Union member states. It helps ensure consistency and clarity in tendering processes, making it easier for suppliers to understand what is needed and for public bodies to communicate their requirements. The CPV codes streamline the procurement process, enhance transparency, and facilitate access to public contracts, ultimately promoting fair competition and efficient use of public funds in EU member countries.
