What is CPV Code 481?

CPV Code 481 in the Common Procurement Vocabulary stands for Software Packages and Information Systems. It is a three-digit sub-code of the main code 48 (Software) and covers the procurement of standard software packages and comprehensive information systems by public contracting authorities.

What Falls Under CPV 481?

This code covers all forms of commercial standard software and integrated information systems:

  • Complete software packages for administration and organization
  • Information systems for data collection, processing and analysis
  • Application software for specific administrative tasks
  • Integrated systems covering multiple functional areas
  • Licenses for standard software of all kinds

Who Procures Under CPV 481?

Software packages and information systems are procured by public contracting authorities at all levels:

  • Municipal administrations need software for citizen services, finance and internal administration
  • Regional authorities procure specialized applications for justice, education and environment
  • Federal agencies deploy large-scale information systems for statistics, security and administration
  • Public enterprises such as utilities and hospitals use industry-specific software packages

Typical Project Sizes

Contract values for software packages vary considerably, from small license purchases of a few thousand euros to large-scale information systems worth millions. Above the EU threshold of €140,000 (central-government supplies and services, in force since 1 January 2026), software procurements must be tendered Europe-wide.
