Information technology requirements review services

Choose 72223000 when the deliverable is a defined picture of what the organisation needs: a requirements specification, a technical-options study, or a functional review that a later build will be measured against. The accepted output is the document and the recommendation, not working software.

The boundary that trips contracting authorities is the line between this code and its two closest siblings. Business analysis consultancy (72221000) examines processes and the business case; requirements review (72223000) translates that into the IT requirements a system must meet. Strategic review and planning (72222000) sets direction across a portfolio, while 72223000 scopes a specific need.

A second trap is the testing siblings. Quality assurance assessment (72225000) and acceptance testing consultancy (72226000) review a system that has been built; requirements review happens before the build exists. Where a single contract folds requirements work into a larger delivery, set the primary CPV code by the dominant deliverable, not by the whole bundle.

Winners here are advisory and analysis firms that sell senior expertise and a clean method, not delivery teams that ship code. If you bid, your case rests on named consultants, a demonstrable track record on comparable systems, and a requirements approach the evaluators can follow, far more than on headcount or tooling.

Worth knowing: across the 74 awards with disclosed values the mean is high, about €2.5M (TED 2009-2026). A requirements review that feeds a later build can be a foothold, so position the engagement for what it leads to, and treat the conflict-of-interest rules that can bar the reviewer from the downstream build as a live constraint when you scope it.

Expect competition from two directions: business-analysis firms arriving from 72221000, and general technical-consultancy houses from the parent 72220000. Romania, Spain and France place the most historically (TED 2009-2026), so a credible multi-country delivery footprint helps more than it would on a single-market code.
