CPV 323 – Television and Radio Receivers and Sound or Video Recording Apparatus

What does CPV 323 cover?

CPV Group 323 (32300000) classifies public contracts for television and radio receivers and sound or video recording and playback equipment. This includes television sets and large-format displays, radio receivers, videoconferencing and web-conferencing systems, video projectors and presentation screens, digital signage displays, audio and public address systems, and recording equipment for audio and video.

In the public sector, diverse procurement needs arise: schools procure interactive whiteboards, projectors and AV systems for modern classrooms. Conference rooms in government buildings are equipped with videoconferencing systems and professional presentation technology. Hospital patient rooms are fitted with televisions and infotainment systems. Cultural institutions procure sound reinforcement equipment and stage technology.

Videoconferencing systems represent a particularly active procurement segment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities and public institutions have significantly expanded their video-meeting capabilities. Enterprise videoconferencing solutions for public bodies must frequently meet specific data protection and security requirements.

Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission's SIMAP portal and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
