The Delegation of the European Union to Armenia is searching for a property to be leased, to be used for the Residence of the European Union Ambassador.

This property should meet the European Union's requirements, concerning quality of construction, space, security and location. It can be a self-standing house or an apartment. In case of a house, it should be surrounded by a boundary wall. The building's surface area should preferably be of maximum 600 m². Secure parking for at least one car should be provided. The property must be equipped with sufficient and efficient air-conditioning and heating systems.

The property should be situated in Yerevan Centre or immediately around it. Its location should be easily accessible and consistent with the needs of representation and visibility of an important diplomatic mission.

The required Residence should have distinct reception area and private area.

The reception area should have an entrance hall and reception area with sufficient space for official receptions for at least 50 guests; a dining room for at least 14 people easy access to the kitchen (which must be separated from the reception area by a wall); and its own toilets.

The private area should be separate from, and if possible independent of, the reception area. Three or four bedrooms minimum, with sufficient bathrooms.

The Residence must be compliant with all local building standards and regulations, in particular in terms of occupational health & safety, respect of the environment, fire prevention and anti-seismic construction codes. Compliance with EU standards or other international standards is a valuable asset. The overall quality of finishing as well as the technical and mechanical equipment facilities should be in line with EU or international standards.

The Residence should preferably be available for occupation on 01/11/2023.
