How TenderFilter uses TED and CPV codes

TenderFilter is designed to help suppliers discover relevant public procurement notices by combining TED data, country filters, sector filters and CPV codes.

Data source

TenderFilter focuses on public procurement notices published on TED. TED is used as the primary source for larger EU public procurement notices.

Filtering approach

TenderFilter pages are organised around three main filters:

• Country: for example Germany, Poland, France, the Netherlands or Belgium.
• Sector: for example solar PV, IT services, construction, medical equipment or cleaning services.
• CPV code: for example CPV 09331200 for solar photovoltaic modules or CPV 72000000 for IT services.

Why CPV codes matter

CPV codes help classify procurement notices by subject. They are useful for filtering, but they are not perfect. Buyers may use broad, narrow or related CPV codes for similar tenders.

For that reason, TenderFilter may combine exact CPV codes with related CPV codes, keywords and country filters.

Example notice blocks

Some country and sector pages include recent example TED notices. These examples are intended to show the type of notices that may appear for a given filter.

Limitations

• TenderFilter does not claim to cover every local or national tender outside TED.
• CPV-based filtering may miss notices where the buyer used a different or broader code.
• Deadlines and notice details depend on the information available in the original TED notice.
• Example notices may change over time as TED publishes new data.

TenderFilter is currently an early-access service. Filtering logic and alert coverage may be improved over time.
