Private-use concession over two municipal plots for protected rental housing

Summary

The procurement concerns a private-use concession for two municipal plots in Barcelona (Diagonal Av. 59-63 and Veneçuela 30-50) to develop, construct and operate housing with official protection under a general rent regime. The process is conducted by the Institut Municipal de l’Habitatge i Rehabilitació (IMHAB) on behalf of the city. The concession is initially for 50 years, with an express option to extend for up to 25 more years. The tender is a public competition open to private entities, including profit and non-profit organizations. Awards will be based on multiple criteria (not only price), including social management and architectural/technical quality. Price contributes to the score via a formula, but the evaluation includes non-price criteria as well. Applicants must demonstrate financial and technical capacity, and provide a multidisciplinary team and supporting documentation.
