CPV 64xxxxx — Post and telecommunications services
Post and telecommunications services under CPV division 64 cover EU public procurement of postal and courier services, telephone and internet access, fixed and mobile telephony frameworks, and data transmission services. Contracting authorities across the public sector are significant buyers of telecommunications — central government telephone and internet connectivity, public safety communications networks, social service customer communication platforms, and public broadcaster telecommunications infrastructure. National central purchasing bodies run major telecommunications framework agreements allowing government bodies to access negotiated rates without individual competitive procurements.
The telecommunications procurement landscape is undergoing significant transformation. Legacy PSTN and ISDN telephone systems are being decommissioned across EU member states — public authorities are procuring VoIP and unified communications platforms to replace legacy PBX systems. Government mobile telecommunications frameworks increasingly specify 5G readiness and security requirements aligned with EU 5G Toolbox guidelines. Cloud-based communications platforms are the standard architecture for new government communications procurements, with data residency, GDPR compliance, and security certification (ISO 27001) as central requirements.
Contract notices under CPV division 64 are published by contracting authorities across all 27 EU member states on TED Europa. Verify current deadlines directly on TED before beginning bid preparation, as corrigenda (correction notices) may have modified the original published deadline. Estimated values shown are from the original contract notice — final awarded values are disclosed in Contract Award Notices published after the procedure concludes.
