CPV 349 – Miscellaneous Transport Equipment and Spare Parts

What does CPV 349 cover?

CPV Group 349 (34900000) classifies public contracts for miscellaneous transport equipment and spare parts. This collective group covers trailers and semi-trailers, vehicle spare parts and accessories for public sector fleets, tyres and tyre accessories, vehicle transporters and specialist haulage equipment, forklifts and industrial trucks, special-purpose vehicle attachments such as snow plough blades and sweeper bodies, as well as caravans, bicycle trailers and other vehicle types not covered by the more specific CPV 34 sub-groups.

A particularly high-volume segment is vehicle spare parts and tyres for the public sector fleet: municipal fleets with hundreds or thousands of vehicles require a continuous supply of spare parts, tyres, lubricants and consumables. Framework agreements for vehicle spare parts and tyre services are therefore frequent procurement subjects at municipal and state level.

Forklifts and industrial trucks for municipal storage facilities, public works depots and public enterprises are another regularly tendered segment. Trailers and specialist bodywork attachments for fire services, civil protection organisations and municipal cleaning vehicles also fall under CPV 349.

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