CPV 802 – Secondary School Education Services

What does CPV 802 cover?

CPV group 802 covers education services at lower and upper secondary level. These include services for secondary modern schools, intermediate schools, grammar schools, comprehensive schools, special schools and vocational schools, as well as supplementary educational provision for young people of compulsory school age. Tutoring, pupil care, careers orientation, school social work and media literacy programmes are also covered under CPV 802, as is the provision of digital learning materials and qualified educational professionals.

Municipalities acting as school authorities are the central contracting authorities in this segment. They procure external education services when internal school capacity is insufficient or when specialist provision from third-party suppliers is required. District authorities tender school social work, careers orientation programmes and inclusive education measures. State authorities commission state-wide digital learning platforms or teacher qualification programmes.

A growing procurement area is digital equipment and digital education at secondary schools. Under the Digital Pact for Schools (Digitalpakt Schule), significant public funds were made available across Germany, leading to numerous tenders for Wi-Fi infrastructure, end devices, interactive displays and learning platforms. In parallel, demand is growing for school social work, careers guidance and mentoring programmes to reduce school dropout rates. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and from Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
