CPV 48422000

Software package suites

This code covers software package suites: bundles of off-the-shelf software licensed and delivered together as one package, rather than a single standalone application. Under CPV code 48422000, a contracting authority is buying a suite of ready-made software, often a productivity, collaboration or platform bundle, plus the licences and support that come with it. It is procurement of packaged product, not a bespoke build.

It sits inside Facilities management software package and software package suite (48420000), one branch over from the sibling that covers facilities-management packages on their own (48421000). In practice the titles under this code lean heavily towards product-licensing arrangements: enterprise productivity suites, security add-ons, and reseller or framework agreements for packaged software.

The code is moderate-volume and high-value. 282 awards carry it (TED 2009-2026), of which 190 disclose a value, and across those the mean runs to about €3.7M. Lithuania, Italy and Romania place the most. That profile fits the work: a single suite-licensing deal for a whole organisation is large, and the same authorities return on renewal cycles, so a handful of big framework or reseller agreements drive much of the disclosed spend.

Public search interest in the bare term stays low, which fits its role as a classification bucket rather than a phrase buyers type. Most contracting authorities reach 48422000 through a parent category or an existing licensing framework rather than searching for it directly.

When to use this code

For buyers contracting authority

Pick 48422000 when the purchase is a bundle of packaged software licensed together, not a single application and not a custom build. The phrase to hold onto is suite: an enterprise productivity package, a collaboration platform with its add-ons, or a multi-product licensing arrangement renewed for the whole organisation.

The boundary that trips authorities is the sibling 48421000, which is for facilities-management software packages specifically; reach for 48422000 when the bundle is broader than a single functional package. The parent 48420000 covers both shapes, so use it only when neither child fits cleanly.

One more neighbour matters. Where the bundle is squarely office productivity, document creation and scheduling tools, 48300000 is the closer match, and a suite that is really a collection of utilities can land under 48900000. Where a single contract bundles a software suite with reseller services or support, set the primary CPV code by whichever element is the dominant purpose of the contract. The recurring, renewal-driven nature of suite licensing is why the same authorities appear under this code year after year.

For suppliers bidding

Winners here are licensing resellers, large-account partners and system integrators that can package and renew a software publisher's product stack at organisation scale, not bespoke development shops. If you bid, your case rests on accredited reseller status, a credible licensing and renewal relationship with the product owner, and the ability to handle metered or per-seat licensing across a large user base. The disclosed mean of about €3.7M (TED 2009-2026) makes each award worth chasing, though the field is concentrated and incumbency runs deep.

The blunt reality: an authority renewing a productivity or platform suite is renewing what its staff already use every day, and switching the underlying product is rarely on the table. So you are usually competing on reseller margin, support terms and framework position rather than on the software itself. Getting onto the right purchasing framework early, then winning call-offs, beats a cold pitch.

Neighbouring bidders arrive from the office-productivity code (48300000) and from the facilities-management sibling (48421000), and the work pairs naturally with reselling individual licences and with integration services. Read it as defensive, recurring revenue: durable for the incumbent, and hard for an outsider to dislodge without an accreditation and a relationship already in place.

Commonly confused with

48421000
The sibling covers facilities-management software packages specifically; pick 48422000 when the purchase is a broader suite of bundled software rather than one functional package.
48420000
The shared parent spans both facilities-management packages and software package suites; drop to 48422000 when the contract is specifically a suite bundle.
48300000
Document creation, drawing, scheduling and productivity software packages; choose 48300000 when the bundle is squarely office productivity rather than a general suite.
48900000
Miscellaneous software packages and computer systems; the catch-all for bundles that do not fit a named category, where 48422000 is the named suite classification.
