CPV 48326100

Digital mapping system

A digital mapping system is software that captures, stores, and displays geographic information on a digital map: layered spatial data, location records, and the tools to query and visualise them. Under CPV code 48326100, a contracting authority is buying a mapping or geographic-information software product, often what the market calls a GIS (geographic information system), rather than a generic application or a one-off cartography study.

It sits inside Mapping software package (48326000), the parent that groups software for producing and handling maps. The 48326100 code narrows that to the working system itself: the platform that holds the geospatial layers and renders them, not the survey data or the paper output.

The code is a steady niche performer. 83 awards carry it (TED 2009-2026), 63 with disclosed values, at a mean of about €963k across those. France, Germany and Estonia place the most, with France alone accounting for 23 of the awards. Disclosed values span a wide range, which is why the mean sits well into six figures despite a modest count (TED 2009-2026).

Public search interest in the exact term is low (volume around 10, Ahrefs), which fits a specialist procurement category. Most contracting authorities reach 48326100 through the mapping-software parent or an existing GIS framework, not by searching the bare phrase.

When to use this code

For buyers contracting authority

Pick 48326100 when the deliverable is a working mapping or GIS software system: a platform that holds geospatial layers and lets staff query, edit, and display them. Departmental GIS rollouts, cartography tools, and land or asset systems built on a spatial database belong here.

The boundary that trips contracting authorities is the parent 48326000. Use the parent when the scope is mapping software in general and no single product dominates; reserve 48326100 for the digital mapping system as the named, deliverable platform. One step out, if the contract is mainly a survey, an aerial-imagery acquisition, or a data-capture exercise rather than the software that holds the result, the mapping-software family is the wrong home.

Watch the build-versus-product line too. Where an authority commissions a bespoke geographic application written for it, a custom software-development code can fit better than this product-shaped one. Set the primary CPV code by the dominant purpose: a mapping software system points here, a coding engagement points to development.

For suppliers bidding

Winners under 48326100 are GIS specialists and geospatial software houses, typically partners or resellers of an established mapping platform, plus integrators who can deploy that platform against an authority's existing data. If you bid, the signal that carries is proven delivery of a comparable spatial system and a credible link to the underlying platform, since contracting authorities buying a digital mapping system want a product with a track record, not an experiment.

France dominates the demand: 23 of the 83 awards are French (TED 2009-2026), so a French public-sector reference is worth real weight on this code. Germany and Estonia follow. The disclosed mean near €963k (TED 2009-2026) sits well into six figures, so scope your bid for delivery, migration, training, and support rather than software alone.

Expect to meet two kinds of rival: general system-integration firms arriving from the broader IT codes, and custom-development shops that pitch a bespoke geographic application instead of a packaged system. The deciding edge is usually the geospatial credential, an authority paying for a mapping platform trusts the supplier who has already run one.

Commonly confused with

48326000
The broader mapping-software parent. Choose 48326100 when the deliverable is the digital mapping system itself as a named platform, not mapping software in general.
72212326
That code is for developing bespoke mapping software; 48326100 is the packaged mapping system as a product rather than a custom coding engagement.
71354000
Map-making services produce the maps and cartographic data as a service; 48326100 is the software system that stores and displays them.
