Data Centres — Public Procurement
Data centres are the foundation of the digital infrastructure of public administrations. The federal government, the states and municipalities operate their own data centres or engage IT service providers to plan, build, modernise and operate them. The consolidation of federal IT and increasing use of the cloud are driving demand for modern, energy-efficient data centre capacity.

Challenges in tender discovery
Data centre tenders are thematically diverse and are published under various categories: IT infrastructure, building services, electrical engineering or air conditioning. Terms such as "server room", "data centre", "DC operations", "IT infrastructure" or "colocation" are used differently by different contracting authorities.
The combination of IT, construction and building services makes comprehensive searching particularly challenging, since relevant tenders may be spread across several CPV divisions.
