CPV 635 – Removal and Relocation Services

What does CPV 635 cover?

CPV group 635 covers removal and relocation services. This includes the removal and reinstallation of office furniture, IT equipment and archive materials when public authorities relocate or reorganise premises, the transport and handling of sensitive materials such as official documents and library collections, and specialist relocation services for research equipment, medical technology and museum objects in connection with building moves or refurbishments.

In public procurement, removal and relocation services are relevant for any public body changing premises, consolidating locations or undertaking building refurbishments that necessitate the temporary relocation of contents. Federal and state authorities, municipalities, universities, hospitals, courts and public libraries all procure removal services at various scales.

Large-scale authority relocations – such as the move of a ministry to a new building – can be complex procurement exercises involving the coordinated removal and reinstallation of furniture, IT infrastructure and archive materials for hundreds or thousands of staff, often with stringent data security requirements for the handling of sensitive documents and IT assets. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
