CPV 907 – Environmental Services

What does CPV 907 cover?

CPV group 907 covers environmental protection and environmental services procured by public contracting authorities. These include environmental assessments and audits, contaminated land investigation and remediation, environmental monitoring and measurement services (air, water, soil, noise), nature conservation measures and restoration projects, environmental advisory services, and climate protection and climate adaptation measures. Environmental impact assessment support studies, ecological construction supervision, and biodiversity monitoring also fall under CPV 907.

Public contracting authorities in this field include federal environmental agencies (UBA, BfN), state environmental offices, municipalities with environmental and nature conservation responsibilities, and highway and water construction authorities procuring environmental assessments and compensatory measures for their projects. The European Environment Agency and EU funding bodies also commission environmental services.

Climate change, the biodiversity crisis, and the EU Green Deal are driving demand for environmental services: municipalities procure climate adaptation strategies, restoration projects, and funding advisory for climate investment. Federal authorities award extensive monitoring contracts for climate impacts, biodiversity, and water protection. EU co-financed environmental projects give rise to numerous transnational tenders. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.

Who is CPV 907 relevant for?

Public Contracting Authorities

Environmental authorities at federal and state level, municipalities, highway authorities, water associations, and state research institutions are the most important contracting authorities. EU co-financed environmental projects (LIFE, Interreg) give rise to EU-wide environmental service tenders. Private companies with planning consent conditions may also procure environmental services on behalf of authorities.

Companies and Bidders

Environmental assessment consultancies, ecological planning offices, engineering firms specialising in contaminated land remediation, measurement institutes, and environmental advisory companies are the typical bidders. Qualified contaminated land experts, ISO 14001 certifications, references from comparable environmental assessments, and laboratory measurement accreditations are important eligibility requirements. Further information on eligibility requirements and procurement procedures is available from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).

Frequently Asked Questions about CPV 907

What is the distinction between environmental assessments as a service and as a professional/freelance service?

Environmental assessments and ecological planning services are partly classified as freelance/professional services. The award of planning services with an environmental dimension (e.g. EIA) can fall under the VgV where the service is sufficiently describable. Professional advisory services may also be awarded under a negotiated procedure.

What EU legal framework applies to environmental service tenders?

EU environmental directives (Water Framework Directive, Habitats Directive, EIA Directive) and the EU Green Deal and EU Nature Restoration Law shape service content. Procurement follows national procurement law (GWB, VgV, UVgO). For EU co-financed projects, the procurement rules of EU Structural Fund regulations also apply. Legal sources are available via EUR-Lex.
