What is CPV Code 484?

CPV Code 484 in the Common Procurement Vocabulary stands for Office Software. This code covers the procurement of standard office software used in virtually every public authority and institution.

What Falls Under CPV 484?

Office software encompasses everyday productivity tools:

  • Word processing: Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer and comparable products
  • Spreadsheets: Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc
  • Presentation software: Microsoft PowerPoint, LibreOffice Impress
  • Email clients: Microsoft Outlook, Thunderbird
  • Collaboration tools: Microsoft Teams, Nextcloud and similar solutions
  • PDF software: Adobe Acrobat, PDF editors and readers

Procurement is increasingly shifting to subscriptions (SaaS/Cloud) rather than one-time license purchases.

Who Procures Under CPV 484?

Office software is needed by all public contracting authorities, from small municipalities with 50 workstations to federal agencies with tens of thousands of licenses. Central framework agreements at the state or federal level are common.

Typical Project Sizes

Office software procurements range from €10,000 for small authorities to over €100 million for nationwide purchases. Cloud subscriptions like Microsoft 365 are typically tendered as 4-year framework agreements, with annual costs of €150-400 per workstation.

Open Source vs. Proprietary

An important topic in office software procurement is the open source vs. proprietary debate. Several German federal states and municipalities are adopting LibreOffice as an alternative, and requirements for interoperability and open standards are increasing.

ERP Solution for the Leibniz Institute on Aging (FLI)

Implementation of an integrated ERP standard software to support commercial and administrative processes at the Leibniz-FLI, including at least technical operational support. A Software-as-a-Service solution is envisioned as the target, but the tender is not exclusively limited to SaaS. The solution is intended to replace existing ERP systems and covers financial accounting, asset accounting, budget management, procurement and materials management, cost and performance accounting/controlling, third-party funding and project administration, and reporting, all based on an integrated data and process foundation. The contract includes detailed conceptual design, setup and parameterization, data migration, interfaces to relevant peripheral systems, testing, training, establishment of operational readiness, support for go-live and stabilization, technical operational support or SaaS operation, maintenance, updates, support, and regulated services at contract termination. Technical data cleansing is the responsibility of the contractor; functional cleansing is performed by the FLI. The procurement of an HR system is not part of this procedure; however, necessary interfaces to the HR system are part of the ERP scope of services.
