The updated procurement thresholds for 2020/2021 were announced by the European Commission on at the end of 2019.
Public sector procurement is currently agreed at EU level. As the UK remains a part of the European Union until a Brexit agreement is made, the new thresholds will apply to all public authorities from 1 January 2020.
Tracker reveals the latest OJEU thresholds below. These thresholds are exclusive of VAT and relate to the full life of the contract.
Public Contracts
OJEU thresholds indicate at what value a contract for goods, works or services must be advertised.
It is mandatory for public sector contracting authorities to adhere to these regulations. However, it is important that suppliers are also aware of advertising thresholds.
