CPV code, or the Common Procurement Vocabulary, establishes a single classification system for public procurement aimed at standardising the references used by contracting authorities and entities to describe the subject of procurement contracts. The initiator of the low-value procurement should try to find the code that matches their needs as precisely as possible.

Example: We wish to purchase enzymes –

a)      we enter the product to the search bar:

or

b)       we search for a code from the tree menu that is as precise as possible:

The CPV code will not be visible to the tenderers, it’s main purpose is to give an overview to ourself of how much supplies/services/works are purchased that belong to a certain category, and whether we are close to exceeding the thresholds and should conduct a public procurement in the Public Procurement Register or a framework agreement would be necessary. If necessary, you can correct the CPV code yourself until the time limit for submission of tenders. If the CPV code has to be changed after that, this can be done by the Procurement Division.

You can look at CPV codes in this file (please download Image Added it, as the preview of the XLSX file is distorted and unhelpful), the classification is provided in all EU languages, so you can search the right code here and paste it to VOK (as the search works only in Estonian).

If you cannot find a suitable tenderer from the list, you can use the button Lisa uus partner on the right side to create a new partner:

This will open a dialogue box where you have insert data into all text boxes with a red asterisk (*). Finally, click on the button Loo partner. If you for some reason do not want to create a new partner after all, choose Loobu.
