Sale - Lease - Easement Right Tenders

Movable and immovable property held by public authorities is not relevant only to procurement tenders. In some transactions, the authority sells or leases its property or establishes an easement right over immovable property. These transactions often constitute revenue-generating tenders.

Kılıç Kurumsal Danışmanlık A.Ş. (Kılıç Kurumsal) provides support for the proper management of sale, lease and easement right tender processes, the orderly preparation of documents, the monitoring of securities and time limits, and the clarification of post-tender obligations.

Our working method involves reviewing the contract notice and specifications and comparing them with the legislation, calculating the security, and jointly assessing the contract or permission process and the payment and delivery obligations.

A. What Does Revenue-Generating Sale-Lease-Easement Tender Management Mean?

1. A Tender Field Different from Procurement Tenders

Law No. 4734 generally governs the authority's procurement of goods, services or works. State Tender Law No. 2886 is frequently applied to sales, leases, exchanges, the establishment of rights in rem other than ownership and similar transactions. The rationale of revenue-generating tenders therefore differs from that of conventional procurement tenders.

In these tenders, the authority generally aims to obtain the most favourable price. The bidder, in turn, wishes to know in advance the terms under which it may use the immovable property or right, the payment burden, investment obligations, the term and the position at the end of the contract.

2. Common Features of Sales, Leases and Easements

A sale involves the transfer of ownership, a lease involves use for a specified period, while an easement right or permission to use involves a limited right to benefit from immovable property. For every transaction, the notice, specifications, estimated price, bid security, procurement procedure, commission decision, approval and contract stage must be monitored carefully.

Winning a revenue-generating tender is not sufficient on its own. For bidders participating in the tender, the terms for payment of the price, performance security, execution of the contract, site handover, licences, projects, investment period, rent increases, easement charges, compensation for unauthorised occupation and eviction are also important matters that must be examined.

3. What Are the Risk Areas in Revenue-Generating Tenders?

Risk areas in revenue-generating tenders often include the title deed record, planning status and actual use of the immovable property, as well as any structures, debts or restrictions affecting it. Knowing about these risks in advance also affects the decision to submit a tender. An unrealistic provision in the specifications concerning time or payment may have serious consequences for the person or company awarded the tender.

B. Our Areas of Expertise in Sale-Lease-Easement Tender Management

1. Sale Tender Management

In sale tenders, the legal and physical status of the movable or immovable property is examined. The notice, specifications, estimated price, bid security, payment schedule, title deed procedures, taxes and charges are assessed together.

For the sale of immovable property, the planning status, intended use, annotations and encumbrances, actual occupation, compensation for unauthorised occupation, delivery and title transfer process are important. Each authority may have different implementation practices for immovable property owned by a municipality, the Treasury or another authority.

A person or company participating in a sale tender should assess in advance not only the purchase price but also its intended use, development or transfer of the immovable property. Otherwise, the purchased immovable property may not deliver the expected commercial outcome. (See: Information section on Law No. 2886: https://www.kilichukuk.org/etiket/2886-sayili-devlet-ihale-kanunu )

2. Lease Tender Management

The principal issue in lease tenders is the period, price and purpose for which the immovable property or asset will be used. The lease term, rent increases, payment period, security, restrictions on use, prohibition on subletting, and maintenance and repair obligations must be clearly identified.

In the leasing of public immovable property, matters such as contract amendments, time extensions, eviction, compensation for unauthorised occupation, rent arrears and forfeiture of the security frequently arise. A prospective tenant should therefore review the immovable property, specifications and draft contract together before the tender.

A lease tender should be considered together with an operating plan. For premises, land, kiosks, facilities, car parks, agricultural land or similar uses, the expected revenue and rental burden should be shown in the same schedule. (See: Lease tenders: https://www.kilichukuk.org/Sozluk/kiralama-ihaleleri )

3. Tender Management for Easement Rights

Easement right and permission-to-use transactions generally concern long-term investment and the use of immovable property. They may provide an opportunity to use immovable property under specified conditions in fields such as tourism, energy, education, healthcare, industry, sport and social facilities.

For these transactions, preliminary permission, the project, investment period, construction requirements, intended use, annual charge, rate of increase, security, transferability, termination of the contract and return of the immovable property must also be examined.

An easement right is not merely the use of land. It is a long-term investment decision. The planning status and infrastructure capacity of the immovable property, project costs, financing, licences and the authority's requirements must therefore be assessed together. (See: Right in rem: https://www.kilichukuk.org/Sozluk/ayni-hak-2886-sayili-kanunun )

C. Why Should Sale-Lease-Easement Tender Management and Process Monitoring Be Undertaken by Specialists?

1. Law No. 2886 Establishes a Distinct System

The procurement procedures, securities, notice rules, tender commission procedures, prohibited acts and conduct, and contract process under Law No. 2886 form a separate regulatory framework. Sealed-bid, open-bid and negotiated procedures are not conducted in the same way.

The bidder should know the procedure under which it is entering the tender, how to submit its tender, the conditions under which the security will be returned or forfeited as revenue, and when the award decision will become final.

(See: Open-bid procedure: https://www.kilichukuk.org/Sozluk/acik-teklif-usulu-2886-sayili-devlet-ihale-kanunu )

2. The Status of the Immovable Property May Affect the Tender Outcome

Sale, lease and easement tenders generally concern immovable property. Title deed records, development plans, actual use, road access, infrastructure, occupation, annotations, development limits and public-interest records may affect the property's actual value in the tender.

If this information is not identified before the tender, subsequent issues may arise, such as payment burdens, project amendments, inability to obtain permission, eviction or restrictions on use.

3. Errors Concerning Time Limits and Securities May Have Serious Consequences

Time limits for invitations to execute the contract, payment of the price, performance security, contract execution, site handover, applications and objections must be monitored closely. Missing a time limit may result in loss of security, debarment from tenders or failure to establish the contract.

In revenue-generating tenders, document and time-limit controls directly affect the financial capacity, investment plan and legal certainty of the company/person participating in the tender.

4. Consultancy and Legal Representation Must Be Kept Separate

Kılıç Kurumsal operates in the fields of commercial consultancy, corporate review, and document and process monitoring. Litigation, powers of attorney and legal representation are handled within a separate professional organisation.

D. How Do We Assist?

1. We Determine the Subject and Stage of the Tender

First, it is determined whether the transaction concerns a sale, lease, easement right or permission to use. The notice, specifications, estimated price, security, procurement procedure, immovable property details and existing correspondence are examined together.

2. We Prepare a Document and Time-Limit Monitoring Plan

A monitoring plan may be prepared for the application, tender, security, tender date, approval of the decision, contract, payment, site handover, permission, project and investment period. The document required and the time limit to be monitored at each stage are clearly specified.

3. We Make Immovable Property and Operational Risks Visible

Planning, intended use, rental burden, annual charge, investment obligations, maintenance costs, eviction risk, compensation for unauthorised occupation, licences and financing may be listed separately. This allows the person or company to assess the tender not only in terms of price but also in terms of the overall outcome.

4. We Prepare Specific Documents That Can Be Presented

Depending on the scope of the work, a tender conditions review brief, immovable property preliminary assessment checklist, security and payment schedule, pre-contract warning checklist, lease risk note, easement right investment preparation schedule and management briefing note may be prepared.

5. We Direct Clients to the Appropriate Information Sources

Those seeking short video explanations may be directed to ihale.tv content, those seeking legal information and reviews of decisions to the Kılıç Hukuk information section, and those seeking publications and books to Kılıç Akademi publications.

E. How Can You Obtain Assistance from Us?

1. Specify the Type and Stage of the Tender

The application should briefly state whether the transaction concerns a sale, lease, easement right or permission to use; whether the tender has been held; whether a tender has been submitted; and whether the contract has been executed.

2. Prepare the Initial Information

Once the scope has been determined, the notice, specifications, tender file, immovable property details, title deed or block/parcel details, planning status, security document, payment correspondence, draft contract and any correspondence with the authority may be shared.

3. Let Us Determine the Scope Through a Preliminary Assessment

Following the initial review, it is determined whether the work will consist solely of checking the tender conditions, a preliminary assessment of the immovable property, monitoring securities and time limits, a pre-contract review or broader process support.

4. Timely Applications Provide Greater Certainty

In sale, lease and easement tenders, the most effective review is conducted before a tender is submitted or a contract is executed. Options may become limited once a time limit has expired, the security is at risk or the eviction process has begun.
