CPV DIVISION 73
Research and development services and related consultancy servicesFrom scope to detail.
Research and development focus the search on the question investigated and the expected research or development output. Describe the subject and the commissioned activity. Buying laboratory equipment differs from commissioning an investigation or development service performed with that equipment.

NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE NEEDED
One shared vocabulary.For very different services.
CPV means Common Procurement Vocabulary. Buyers use this classification to describe the works, supplies and services in their notices.
Move from the area to the exact scope
Parent codes describe a broader scope. Direct children are more specific. The final digit after the hyphen is the official check digit, not an extra service category.
Read notices carefullyThe tender documents define the requirements
A matching code does not establish eligibility, and not every relevant opportunity will use that code. Review the specification, eligibility, lots and deadlines separately.
