What does CPV 090 cover?
CPV Group 090 (09000000) classifies public contracts for petroleum products, fuels, electricity and other energy carriers. This group covers the entire spectrum of energy supply in the public sector – from fossil fuels such as diesel, heating oil and natural gas to renewable energy sources through to the procurement of electricity and district heat.
Public contracting authorities procure under CPV 090 fuels for vehicle fleets, heating energy for public buildings, electricity for authorities and infrastructure, and alternative fuels for bus and fleet operations. The group is relevant for virtually all public institutions, as energy demand represents a permanent and budget-relevant procurement task.
Within the CPV structure, Group 090 is the umbrella group for sub-groups 091 (fuels), 092 (lubricants), 093 (gases) and 094 (electricity). It is distinct from CPV 44 (construction materials) and CPV 42 (industrial machinery) in that it exclusively covers energy carriers and not generation equipment.
Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008 on the revision of the CPV.
