UK notices on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder still use them, and so does every EU notice on TED. How is a CPV code structured?The first two digits are the division (for example 72 for IT services), and each extra significant digit narrows it down: group, class, category and subcategory. Trailing zeros are placeholders, so 72200000 covers everything that starts with 722. Which CPV codes should I use for tender alerts?Pick the most specific codes that describe what you sell, then add their parent group so you catch buyers who code loosely. Many buyers choose a broad code, so pair CPV codes with keywords rather than relying on codes alone. Where does the live tender count come from?It counts open tenders on TenderNation, from Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland, TED and the World Bank, that carry the code or any code beneath it. It updates every hour. ## More free tools - [Free ### Contract expiry finder Find public contracts ending in the next 18 months, so you can prepare before the re-tender is published.
