CPV 715 – Construction-Related Services

What does CPV 715 cover?

CPV group 715 covers construction-related services that are connected with the delivery of building projects, but are distinct from planning or construction works themselves. This includes project management and project control services, client representation, health and safety coordination on construction sites, quality assurance services in construction, programme management and cost management, as well as specific advisory services relating to construction delivery.

Complex public building projects – hospital new builds, large administrative complexes, infrastructure projects – require professional project management. Contracting authorities commission external project managers who, on behalf of the client, coordinate all planning and construction participants, monitor programme and costs, and manage the interfaces between the various parties. Health and safety coordination on construction sites is also a classic component of contracts under CPV 715.

As public building projects grow in complexity, the need for professional project control services increases accordingly. BIM-supported project administration, digital collaboration platforms and integrated cost and programme management systems are now standard on larger construction projects.

Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and from Regulation (EC) No 213/2008 on the revision of the CPV.
