CPV 701 – Real Estate Services with Own Property

What does CPV 701 cover?

CPV group 701 covers real estate services related to property owned by public contracting authorities. These include the management, operation, valuation, and development of land and buildings in public ownership. This code is used when a public contracting authority procures services for its own property portfolio — acting as owner rather than as an intermediary.

Public contracting authorities such as federal real estate agencies, municipal property offices, and public housing companies manage extensive property portfolios. The professional management of these holdings requires specialist services ranging from commercial administration through technical building management to strategic portfolio development. These are procured through competitive tenders under CPV 701.

Managing publicly owned property also involves administering lettings and leases. Public contracting authorities rent out space within their buildings to private occupiers — for example office space in government buildings, retail units in municipal properties, or land for commercial use. Managing these tenancies, including service charge accounting and maintenance coordination, is a typical use case for CPV 701. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
