CPV 630 – Auxiliary and Supporting Transport Services (Group)

What does CPV 630 cover?

CPV group 630 is the overarching group code within division 63 and covers auxiliary and supporting transport services. This includes the full range of services that support transport operations: travel agencies and tour operators, freight forwarding, customs clearance, cargo handling, warehousing, removal services, and auxiliary services for road, water and air transport.

In public procurement, CPV 630 is used when a contract combines multiple auxiliary transport service types or when a general supporting transport services code is required. A comprehensive logistics management contract covering freight forwarding, warehousing and customs services would typically be classified under this group code. Travel management and business travel administration contracts are also frequently assigned here.

The group code is also relevant for public authorities that wish to bundle diverse transport support services under a single framework contract – for example, an authority procuring a logistics support service covering both storage management and freight forwarding for its operational equipment. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
