CPV watchlist starter
List the CPV codes that describe what you deliver, mark each as core or adjacent, and add the keywords and regions that narrow them down. Pick an industry below to start from official CPV codes, then download the list as CSV.
How to use it
- Start from the industry closest to yours, or from an empty template.
- Remove codes you do not deliver and add your own with the free CPV lookup.
- Add keywords that describe your services, and keywords to exclude what you never bid on.
- Review the list every quarter against the tenders it brought in.
The template
| CPV code | Official label | Priority | Include keywords | Exclude keywords | Regions | Minimum value | Notes |

- Buyers often pick one broad code, so keep the main code for your field on the list as well as the specific ones.
- Codes alone are too broad for most companies. The keywords are what make the list useful.
- In Tenderen, alerts match CPV codes on the division (the first two digits), so keywords matter even more there.
Automate this in Tenderen
In Tenderen you save the same list as an alert — CPV codes, keywords and regions — and get new matches by email, in the app, or in Slack or Teams. Your company profile uses the codes to rank every tender by relevance.
