CPV

EC Common Procurement Vocabulary

The Common Procurement Vocabulary is a standard adopted by the Commission of the European Community, and consisting of a main vocabulary for defining the subject of a contract, and a supplementary vocabulary for adding further qualitative information. The main vocabulary, identified in OCDS by the code CPV, is based on a tree structure comprising codes of up to 9 digits (an 8 digit code plus a check digit) associated with a wording that describes the type of goods, works or services forming the subject of the contract.
