CPV 700 – Real Estate Services (General)

CPV 700 covers general real estate services for public contracting authorities, from valuation and portfolio management to property brokerage and advisory.

What does CPV 700 cover?

CPV group 700 represents general real estate services within the European classification system for public contracts. It forms the overarching code for division 70 and encompasses services relating to the valuation, management, letting, and brokerage of land and buildings. Public contracting authorities use this code when a contract combines several property-related services or cannot be clearly attributed to a more specific subordinate code.

Real estate services play an important role for public contracting authorities in managing publicly owned assets. Central government, regional governments, and municipalities are significant property owners. The management, valuation, and strategic development of public property portfolios requires specialist services that can be procured under CPV 700. The procurement of leased premises for public bodies also falls under division 70.

The digitalisation of property management — facility management software, digital building records, BIM data — is transforming the procurement landscape. At the same time, climate protection requirements and energy efficiency legislation are driving greater integration of sustainability assessment into real estate service contracts. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
