CPV 751 – Administrative Services

What does CPV 751 cover?

CPV group 751 covers general administrative services provided in the context of public administration. This includes support services for ministries and agencies, external services for general public administration, human resources administration services, financial and budget support services, and services for public order and safety. Contracting authorities use this code when procuring external support for general administrative functions.

In the context of public administration modernisation, an increasing number of administrative services are being outsourced or supported by external providers. Shared service centre models, in which a central unit provides administrative services for multiple authorities, and the privatisation of back-office functions are developments influencing procurement requirements under CPV 751.

Digital transformation of public administration is a significant driver of tenders under CPV 751. The introduction of electronic records, digital administrative processes and automated processing systems is frequently accompanied by external services combining IT and process advisory elements, tendered under CPV 751 or in combination with CPV 72.

Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and from Regulation (EC) No 213/2008 on the revision of the CPV.
