CPV 723 – Data Processing Services

What does CPV 723 cover?

CPV group 723 covers services relating to the processing, management and analysis of data. This includes manual and automated data capture (e.g. digitisation of paper records and forms), data conversion and migration when transitioning from legacy systems, data cleansing and data quality management, data warehouse implementations, and business intelligence and analytics services. These services are distinct from the procurement of database software (CPV 486x), as the service component is the primary element here.

Public contracting authorities have considerable requirements in this field: records digitisation, migrations during system transitions, the establishment of statistical and reporting systems, and the creation of a data foundation for data-driven administrative decision-making are typical occasions for these procurements. Data protection and security requirements are particularly demanding for data processing services – they typically constitute data processing within the meaning of GDPR, requiring appropriate contractual arrangements.

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.

Who is CPV 723 relevant for?

Public Contracting Authorities

Authorities procuring data processing services must pay particular attention to GDPR compliance. Data processing agreements under Article 28 GDPR must be concluded. Requirements for data security, access controls and data deletion after contract end must also be contractually specified. Further information is available from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).

Companies and Bidders

Data processing companies and data science firms providing data capture, migration or analytics services for public authorities will find regular tendering opportunities under CPV 723. Certified data protection management (e.g. ISO 27001), demonstrated data migration experience and the ability to handle sensitive administrative data securely are key competitive factors.
