CPV codes

Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV Codes) determine which opportunities you get notifications on within sell2wales.

Sell2Wales have provided this handy little booklet:
(CPV) Codes - Sell2Wales - GOV.WALESwww.sell2wales.gov.wales › user-guides › overview

The codes are used by both buyers and suppliers as a standard way to define the types of services that are on offer. It’s the buyers responsibility to make sure the codes accurately reflect their offer so that you find the right notices from public sector buyers. In practice this might mean as a supplier you have to review your categories of work and corresponding codes so that you get the most out of sell2wales.

As Guto Carrod from Business Wales said “You then have to sift through those opportunities yourself, but then at least you know what’s happening in the market in relation to your area of work. All of which will help grow and shape your business offer."
