CPV 48430000

Inventory management software package

Inventory management software keeps track of what an organisation holds and where it sits: stock levels, goods in and out, locations, reorder points, and the assets a body has to account for. Under CPV code 48430000, a contracting authority is buying a packaged product for that job, not a bespoke build and not a broader finance suite.

It sits inside Business transaction and personal business software package (48400000), alongside the codes for accounting (48440000), facilities management (48420000) and procurement (48490000). The line that defines it is purpose: tracking and controlling stock or held assets, rather than buying them, valuing them in the ledger, or running the building they live in.

The code is steady but not high-traffic. 77 awards carry it (TED 2009-2026), of which 44 disclose a value, and across those the mean runs to about €3.2M. France, the UK and Spain place the most. In practice the buyers range from hospitals managing surgical stock to municipalities tracking physical assets, which is why the package often arrives bundled with installation, configuration and training rather than as a shrink-wrapped licence on its own.

Public search interest in the bare term is low, which fits a code most contracting authorities reach 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 48430000 when the contract's point is tracking and controlling stock or held assets with an off-the-shelf package. The sibling codes mark the boundaries: buying the goods is procurement software (48490000), valuing them in the books is accounting software (48440000), and running the premises that hold them is facilities management software (48420000).

The trap is the finance overlap. Many inventory deals fold in a ledger module or arrive inside an economic-management system, and it is tempting to default to the accounting code. Keep it here when stock and asset control is the dominant purpose; switch to 48440000 only when the financial ledger is what the contract is really for.

One more boundary: this code is for a packaged product. Where the requirement is a one-off application written from scratch, the development-services branch (CPV 72000000) fits better. Where a single contract bundles the package with installation, configuration and training, set the primary CPV code by the dominant deliverable, which here is usually the software itself.

For suppliers bidding

This is a mixed field, and you should read each tender for which kind of contracting authority it serves before committing bid effort. Some awards are clean package-and-licence deals; many more are package-plus-services, where installation, configuration, data migration and training carry as much weight as the product. With 77 awards over a long window (TED 2009-2026) and a disclosed mean near €3.2M, the volume is modest but the larger deals are worth chasing.

What wins is fit to the authority's setting. A credible reference in the same sector (hospital stock control, municipal asset tracking, public-warehouse logistics) and a clear implementation plan tend to beat a generic product pitch, because contracting authorities here are wary of a package that does not bend to their workflow.

Expect competition from two directions: accounting and economic-management suppliers bidding under 48440000 that bolt on a stock module, and custom-software shops arriving from the development codes. If your strength is implementation and sector references rather than a brand-name product, this is a code where that profile can still win.
