CPV 48813100

Electronic bulletin boards

Electronic bulletin boards are the live display screens that show transport passengers where their bus, tram or train is and when it leaves: the departure boards at a station concourse, the next-stop panels inside a vehicle, and the at-stop signs that count down arrivals. Under CPV code 48813100, a contracting authority is procuring the display element of a passenger information system, the physical boards and the integration that drives them from a live data feed.

It sits one level under Passenger information system (48813000), which is the whole system. This code is the screens-and-signs layer of that system, not the back-office software or the operations centre behind it.

The work has real, recurring scale: 196 awards carry this code (TED 2009-2026), at a mean of about 940,000 EUR across the awards with disclosed values. Germany, Poland and Portugal place the most. Demand tracks a simple driver: stations, stops and fleets are equipped in waves and then refreshed as the displays age or the underlying system is modernised.

Public search interest in the bare term stays low, which fits a niche hardware-and-integration code. Authorities reach it through the passenger information system parent or an existing transport framework rather than searching for it directly.

When to use this code

For buyers contracting authority

Pick 48813100 when the contract is for the displays themselves, the boards, the at-stop signs, the in-vehicle panels, and the work to feed them live data. The line that trips contracting authorities is the parent: Passenger information system (48813000) is the right code for buying the whole system, including the central software and operations layer, while 48813100 is scoped to the display element of it.

The sibling is the second boundary. Real-time passenger information system (48813200) describes a real-time system as a whole, so reserve 48813100 for the bulletin-board hardware and its integration rather than the system that computes the predictions.

Where a single contract bundles boards with the surrounding system, set the primary CPV code by the dominant deliverable. If the displays are the main purchase, this code fits even when a data feed or minor software is part of the scope.

For suppliers bidding

Winners here are display and signage integrators and transport-systems suppliers who can both deliver hardware and wire it into a live feed, not pure software houses. If you bid, your case rests on installed references at comparable stations, stops or fleets, environmental and durability ratings for outdoor and on-vehicle screens, and a credible plan to integrate with the authority's existing passenger information system.

The recurring pattern worth naming: this is fit-and-integrate work, so logistics, installation in a live transport environment, and ongoing maintenance often weigh as heavily as the screen specification itself. A bid that treats the boards as a commodity and ignores the integration usually loses to one that does not.

Expect competition from suppliers active under the parent (48813000) and the real-time sibling (48813200), who bolt a display line onto a full-system bid. Hardware resellers and telecoms integrators also appear. With 196 awards on record (TED 2009-2026) concentrated in Germany, Poland and Portugal, the work clusters around authorities running active fleet and stop refresh programmes.

Commonly confused with

48813000
The parent covers the whole passenger information system; 48813100 is scoped to the electronic display boards within it.
48813200
That code is the real-time passenger information system as a whole; this code is the bulletin-board hardware and its integration.
