CPV 703 – Real Estate Agency Services

CPV 703 covers real estate agency services on a fee or contract basis for public contracting authorities in purchase, sale, and property acquisition.

What does CPV 703 cover?

CPV group 703 covers real estate agency services provided on a fee or contractual basis for public contracting authorities. These include property brokerage for purchase, sale, or rental, market searches for suitable office accommodation or sites for public bodies, transaction support for the disposal of publicly owned land, and valuation and advisory services in connection with property transactions.

Public contracting authorities require estate agency services in a variety of situations: authorities seeking suitable office space in a particular area engage agents to conduct market research and prepare shortlists; municipalities wishing to sell public land commission agents to market it and identify buyers; investment planning requires market analyses covering rental levels, vacancy rates, and development prospects in specific locations.

The procurement of agency services from public contracting authorities is subject to procurement law where applicable thresholds are exceeded. In drafting the specification, it is important to draw a clear distinction between pure agency activity — which is often remunerated on a success basis — and advisory services, which are assessed under different procurement principles. Further information on the CPV system is available from the European Commission (SIMAP) and Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.
