CPV 702 – Letting and Leasing of Own Property

What does CPV 702 cover?

CPV group 702 covers the letting and leasing of land and buildings from their own property portfolio, where public contracting authorities act as landlords. This code is also relevant when public bodies procure services supporting their own letting activities — for example, marketing services for publicly owned space available to let, or the management of tenancies in public buildings.

Public contracting authorities let a wide variety of premises and sites: retail units in the ground floors of municipal buildings, office space in government buildings let to other public bodies or private parties, storage space on public land, agricultural land in public ownership, and sites subject to ground leases. The procurement of letting services — commissioning external agents to market these properties — can be tendered under CPV 702.

It is important to note that pure lease and tenancy agreements are not service contracts in the procurement law sense and are therefore not subject to tender requirements. CPV 702 is relevant when public contracting authorities engage external service providers to market, broker, or manage their rental properties. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
