CPVcodex

Carlos Geadas

CPVcodex is a simple Chrome Extension that searches for a CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) main code in the codes database. The common procurement vocabulary (CPV) establishes a single classification system for public procurement aimed at standardising the references used by contracting authorities and entities to describe procurement contracts. The oficial publishing platform for public (State) procurement (https://www.dre.pt) only shows the codes but not their description. In order to save time, this extension allows the user to select a code and from the context menu, perform a quick search in the database for the correct description. It's also possible, through the extensions' menu to perform a more detailed search, revealing the complete code tree.
