Most Important CPV Codes in the Construction and Infrastructure Industry

At Mimira, we have prepared a practical guide to key CPV codes for tenders in construction and infrastructure. We have selected 8 of the most frequently used codes based on current data from procurement portals.

How to Monitor Tenders Using CPV Codes?

In our Mimira team, we analyze thousands of notices daily to help companies not miss opportunities in construction and infrastructure. Here are some practical tips:

• Effective monitoring: Input combinations of main codes (e.g., 45000000-7) with additional ones (e.g., 45111200-0) in tender search engines. In Mimira, set up automatic email/SMS alerts – the platform scans BZP, TED, and regional portals in real-time, matching them to your CPV codes.[7][8]

• Common mistakes to avoid: Contracting authorities sometimes assign codes inaccurately (e.g., the general 45000000-7 instead of the specialized 45234126-5), which obscures searches. Always check the description of the contract object and additional codes. Avoid monitoring individual codes – use the CPV tree from uzp.gov.pl for full coverage.[5][8]

• How Mimira automates the process: Our platform aggregates tenders with CPV codes, filters by industry (construction/infrastructure), and notifies about new announcements. You save hours on manual searching – set up profiles for specific codes, such as 45244000-9 for water, and receive leads with a chance to win.
