CPV 433 – Construction Plant and Equipment

What does CPV 433 cover?

CPV Group 433 covers construction plant and equipment specifically associated with building and civil engineering operations, distinct from the general earthmoving machinery in CPV Group 432. This includes concrete mixing and batching plants; concrete pumps and placing booms; road rollers and vibratory compactors; soil compaction and tamping equipment; pile driving and sheet pile driving equipment; pneumatic and hydraulic drilling rigs for foundation and geotechnical works; concrete spraying (shotcrete) equipment; and trench shoring and support systems.

Municipal and state building authorities, road construction agencies, publicly owned civil engineering companies and specialist geotechnical contractors working on public contracts all procure construction plant under this group. Concrete batching plants and asphalt plants are capital assets that may be procured by publicly owned materials production operations. Pile driving and drilling equipment is particularly relevant for foundation engineering on public infrastructure projects.

All construction plant must comply with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, carry CE marking and meet the Stage V emissions standards of Regulation (EU) 2016/1628 for diesel-powered machinery. Noise emissions must comply with Directive 2000/14/EC. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.

Current tenders with CPV 433 are published on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) and on national procurement platforms.

Who is CPV 433 relevant for?

Public Contracting Authorities

State road and bridge construction authorities, municipal infrastructure departments, publicly owned geotechnical and foundation engineering companies, and public precast concrete producers are the primary procurers under CPV 433. Procurement of construction plant is often combined with procurement of attachments, consumables and maintenance contracts.

Companies and Bidders

Construction plant manufacturers, concrete equipment specialists, piling machine suppliers and compaction equipment companies are the core bidders under CPV 433. Stage V emission compliance, CE marking and compliance with the Machinery Directive are mandatory. References from comparable infrastructure projects and evidence of commissioning, training and service support are important evaluation criteria. Further guidance is available from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
