COMMON PROCUREMENT VOCABULARY (CPV)
Structure of the classification system
1. The CPV consists of a main vocabulary and a supplementary vocabulary.
2. The main vocabulary is based on a tree structure comprising codes of up to nine digits associated with a wording that describes the supplies, works or services forming the subject of the contract.
The numerical code consists of 8 digits, subdivided as follows:
- the first two digits identify the divisions;
- the first three digits identify the groups;
- the first four digits identify the classes;
- the first five digits identify the categories.
Each of the last three digits gives a greater degree of precision within each category.
A ninth digit serves to verify the previous digits.
3. The supplementary vocabulary may be used to expand the description of the subject of a contract. The items are made up of an alphanumeric code with a corresponding wording allowing further details to be added regarding the specific nature or destination of the goods to be purchased.
The alphanumeric code is made up of:
- a first level comprising a letter corresponding to a section;
- a second level comprising four digits, the first three of which denote a subdivision and the last one being for verification purposes.
