CPV 436 – Parts for Mining, Quarrying and Construction Machinery

What does CPV 436 cover?

CPV Group 436 covers spare parts, wear components and accessories for mining, quarrying and construction machinery, procured by public contracting authorities that maintain their own equipment fleets. This includes excavator buckets, quick-coupler systems and hydraulic attachments; wear plates, cutting edges and bucket teeth; track components including track chains, track pads, rollers and idlers; hydraulic cylinders, hoses and fittings; engine components such as filters, belts and cooling system parts; and electronic control units and sensor systems for machinery management.

Public bodies operating fleets of construction and mining machinery – road authorities, municipal public works departments, port authorities and publicly owned aggregate operations – face substantial annual expenditure on spare and wear parts. Framework agreements for parts supply are the standard procurement instrument, enabling authorities to call off parts as needed while benefiting from negotiated pricing and guaranteed availability. Parts availability and supply lead times are critical for machinery uptime in maintenance-intensive operations.

Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, equivalent aftermarket parts and refurbished components are all supplied under CPV 436 contracts. Public procurement law permits contracting authorities to specify OEM parts or equivalent quality standards; bidders must demonstrate that their products meet the machinery manufacturer's specifications or provide test evidence of equivalence. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
