How much does a contract need to be worth for it to be subject to the procurement regime?
There are a series of thresholds that differ according to: • The type of contract that is being procured (whether it is for goods, services or works). • The identity of the contracting authority. Authorities in central government will generally have a lower threshold than other public sector organisations such as local authorities. However, NHS Trusts are subject to the lower central government threshold. For details of the current thresholds that are applicable, see Practice note, Public Procurement in the UK: Thresholds (www.practicallaw.com/5-383-9734). If a contract exceeds the relevant threshold it will be subject to the full public procurement regime set out in the Regulations, unless it is fully or partially exempt for another reason. For more information on contracts that are exempt from the full procurement regime, see Practice note, Public procurement in the UK: Contract type (www.practicallaw.com/5-383-9734).
