5G Networks — Public Procurement

The rollout of 5G networks is a strategic infrastructure programme in Germany and across Europe. Alongside private network operators, contracting authorities are also investing in 5G infrastructure — particularly for campus networks in public authorities, hospitals, ports and industrial sites. Tenders cover the planning, construction and operation of 5G infrastructure as well as the procurement of associated mobile network equipment.

Typical tenders in the 5G networks sector

  • Deployment of a 5G campus network for a university hospital
  • Planning and construction of 5G infrastructure for a smart city pilot
  • Procurement of 5G base stations and antennas for a municipal network operator
  • Framework agreement for mobile network planning and optimisation
  • Provision of a private 5G network solution for a public port

Relevant CPV codes

Challenges in tender discovery

5G-specific tenders are not explicitly represented in the CPV nomenclature, as the classification was developed before the 5G era. Relevant procurement procedures are hidden behind terms such as "mobile network infrastructure", "radio coverage", "campus network", "wireless communication" or simply "telecommunications infrastructure".

In addition, 5G projects frequently overlap with other areas such as smart city, IoT or disaster management, which makes targeted searching difficult.
