CPV 48190000

Educational software package

An educational software package is a ready-made, licensed software product built for teaching, learning, or running an education institution, bought off the shelf rather than written from scratch. Under CPV code 48190000, a contracting authority is procuring the product and its licences (with the usual install, hosting, and support wrapped around it), not a bespoke development project.

The code sits inside Industry specific software package (48100000), the branch for packaged software aimed at one sector. In practice the scope is broad: learning management and virtual learning environments, student or campus management information systems, e-learning and assessment platforms, and the content tools that feed them. It covers the licensed-product end of education technology, where the same platform is sold to many institutions.

This is a well-used code, not a niche one. 699 awards carry it (TED 2009-2026), at a mean of about €1.7M across the 392 awards with disclosed values. The Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Romania place the most. Public search demand for the bare term is low (the head term clears only double-digit monthly volume), so authorities almost always reach the code through a parent category or an existing framework rather than by searching for it directly.

When to use this code

For buyers contracting authority

Reach for 48190000 when the deliverable is a packaged education product and its licences, not a one-off build. The cleanest test: if the deliverable is access to a platform that already exists (a learning management system, a student records system, an assessment tool) and the work is install, configure, host, and support, this is the code. If the accepted output is custom-engineered software written to a specification, the development codes fit better.

The boundary that trips contracting authorities is Educational software development services (72212190). Package codes sit in the 48xxx supplies branch; development sits in 72xxx services. Many education systems are bought as a licensed product, so 48190000 is usually right, but a genuinely bespoke build belongs under 72212190.

Two siblings sit close. Library software package (48160000) is the pick for library or catalogue systems even inside a school or university. Where a deal bundles an education platform into a wider information-system purchase, set the primary CPV code by the dominant element, and accept that some authorities default upward to the root 48000000.

For suppliers bidding

Winners under 48190000 are education-technology product companies (LMS, student information system, and assessment-platform vendors) and the integrators who deploy and host them, not bespoke development shops. Your case rests on a proven platform, reference deployments at comparable institutions, and credible hosting and support, far more than on a developer headcount. If you bid, lead with the named product and the institutions already running it.

This is a substantial, recurring stream rather than a thin one. 699 awards across the full window (TED 2009-2026), at a mean near €1.7M where values are disclosed, and education software carries strong renewal and multi-year support tails, so the incumbent advantage is real. Where you are the challenger, compete on migration risk, data portability, and a credible transition-in plan.

The Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Romania account for the bulk of historical activity (TED 2009-2026), so a multi-country delivery and hosting footprint helps. Suppliers active under educational software development (72212190) bid here too whenever a procurement that started as a build lands on a licensed product instead.
