CPV 793 – Market and Economic Research; Polling and Statistics

What does CPV 793 cover?

CPV group 793 covers market and economic research services, opinion polling and statistical services for public contracting authorities. These include representative population surveys, user surveys on public services, satisfaction analyses, economic statistics, social statistics, and studies on market developments and sector trends. Public contracting authorities commission market research institutes when they require empirically grounded decision-making information.

Citizen surveys and user research are a growing procurement field in the public sector. Municipalities and federal agencies commission external institutes to conduct representative surveys on satisfaction with public transport, municipal services or dealings with public authorities. Results feed directly into public administration modernisation and digitalisation strategies.

Special statistical analyses and economic studies are procured by statistical authorities, ministries and research institutions. Statistical agencies, economics ministries and economic policy departments commission external service providers to process and analyse complex datasets, develop new survey methodologies and calculate macroeconomic indicators. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and from Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
