CPV equivalent for UK public tenders
UK public buyers classify tenders with CPV codes, not UNSPSC. That is the code on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder.
- 39830000-9Cleaning products
- 35113000-9Safety equipment
CPV has no code for spill kits or absorbents. Buyers place them under cleaning products or under safety equipment, depending on whether the budget is facilities or health and safety. Either is defensible; use the one your organisation already reports against.
Notes for buyers
- Pads are rated by how much liquid a pack absorbs. Compare pack absorbency, not price per pad.
- Oil-only pads are usually white and chemical pads yellow, so they can be told apart in an emergency.
