In this article, you will read what CPV codes are and how to set them up in your organisation profile.


Procurement codes are used to categorise tenders. Within Europe, CPV codes are used. CPV stands for Common Procurement Vocabulary and is a European list of codes developed by the European Union, also known as Common Procurement Vocabulary. Contracting authorities must apply this classification system in European tenders.


If you are a supplier, you can set several CPV codes in your organisation account. This allows you to state which products or services you supply. This way, your organisation can be found by buyers using Mercell Source-To-Contract. You will also be notified about tenders published with corresponding CPV codes.
