CPV 48825000

Web servers

A web server is the machine that hosts and serves websites and web applications: it answers HTTP requests, holds the site's files and runtime, and pushes pages and data back to browsers and API clients. Under CPV code 48825000, a contracting authority is buying that web-serving layer, the official scope being web-server provision within the Servers family (48820000).

This is a mid-sized, infrastructure-level code. 57 awards carry it (TED 2010-2026), 31 with disclosed values, at a mean of about €1.1M across those. Romania, Spain and France place the most. The spread of values is wide: a single rack appliance and a full hosting platform both land here, so the disclosed mean reflects a mix of small device buys and larger infrastructure deals rather than one typical contract size.

Search interest in the specific term is low. The bare phrase "web servers" draws only a trickle of monthly volume, well below the generic "servers" head term, which fits a narrow procurement label that contracting authorities reach through a parent category rather than by searching for it directly. That low demand is a property of the niche, not a gap in coverage.

When to use this code

For buyers contracting authority

The line to hold with 48825000 is the one between a server and a service. This code is for the web-serving infrastructure itself: the machine or platform that hosts and serves sites and applications. It is not the code for paying a provider to run or build the website itself.

That boundary trips authorities constantly. A contract to host and operate a website as an ongoing managed service belongs under World wide web (www) site operation host services (72415000), and site design or development belongs under 72413000, even though both sit close to a web server in everyday language. Reserve 48825000 for when the web-serving capacity, not the outsourced service wrapped around it, is the thing being procured.

Up the tree, general-purpose machines without a web-serving purpose belong under Computer servers (48822000) or the parent Servers (48820000). Where a tender bundles a web server into a broader infrastructure or hosting deal, set the primary CPV code by the dominant deliverable rather than by the presence of a web tier.

For suppliers bidding

Winners here split into two camps, and knowing which one a notice wants matters before you bid. One is hardware resellers and infrastructure integrators supplying and configuring web-serving capacity, on-premise or in a data centre. The other is hosting and platform providers standing up managed web infrastructure, where the contract leans toward operation rather than a one-off supply.

Read the statement of work for that split: a device-and-configuration spec rewards a hardware bid on price, lead time and compatibility, while an operate-and-maintain scope rewards uptime guarantees, security posture and a credible service model. Pitching the wrong camp loses on relevance before price even enters.

The practical signal is that suppliers active here also bid under the web-services codes (72413000, 72415000) and the neighbouring server hardware codes, so build a pipeline across the cluster rather than waiting on this label alone. With Romania, Spain and France leading the award count (TED 2010-2026), the demand is real but geographically concentrated, and the work pairs naturally with networking, storage and the broader hosting stack.
