CPV 637 – Auxiliary Services for Transport

What does CPV 637 cover?

CPV group 637 covers auxiliary services for land, water and air transport. This includes transport dispatching and routing services, traffic management support, road and transport infrastructure operational services, vehicle inspection and roadworthiness testing services, tolling and road-use management services, and logistical support services for transport operations procured by public bodies.

In public procurement, CPV 637 is used for services that provide operational support to transport systems without constituting transport itself. Road authorities procure traffic management and monitoring services; transport authorities procure dispatching and operations management for public transport networks; port and airport authorities procure ground support and logistics coordination services.

Examples of typical procurement under this code include the provision of traffic control centre operations management, vehicle fleet tracking and dispatch services, road condition monitoring, tolling system management and transport logistics coordination for large public infrastructure projects. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
