Revised EU Procurement Thresholds Published by the EU Commission

The EU Commission has announced that with effect from 1 January 2012 the financial thresholds at which the EU Procurement Regulations apply will be raised to £4,348,350 for works contracts and £173,934 for services and supply contracts. Both amounts are exclusive of VAT.

The new thresholds will apply to all new procurement from 1 January 2012. 

In very general terms, if a contracting authority wants to award a contract with a value in excess of the relevant threshold it must advertise it in the Official Journal of the European Union and competitively tender it in accordance with the Regulations.
