CPV 728 – Digitalisation Services

What does CPV 728 cover?

CPV group 728 covers services for the digital transformation of organisations and administrative processes. At its core, this involves the analysis, redesign and digital implementation of processes that were previously paper-based or only partially digital. Typical services include as-is process analysis, the development of target processes for digital delivery, the implementation of process automation solutions (RPA, workflow systems), the set-up of digital online application channels, and the implementation of e-government programmes requiring the full digitalisation of public services.

For public contracting authorities, CPV 728 has gained considerably in significance in recent years. E-government mandates, administrative modernisation through register reform, and citizens' growing expectation of digital public services are driving digitalisation projects. These projects require interdisciplinary teams – IT expertise alone is not sufficient; administrative knowledge, project management, change management and UX design are also required.

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.

Public Contracting Authorities

Digitalisation projects are often complex and require close involvement of the relevant operational departments. Specifications should define clear deliverables and milestones. Provisions for knowledge transfer are important to ensure that the authority remains capable of acting after project completion.
