The reg\u00adu\u00adlar revi\u00adsion of the thresh\u00adold val\u00adues is based sole\u00adly on math\u00ade\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcal pro\u00adce\u00addures. The aim is to bal\u00adance out exchange rate fluc\u00adtu\u00ada\u00adtions between the sig\u00adna\u00adto\u00adry states of the GPA (Agree\u00adment on Gov\u00adern\u00adment Pro\u00adcure\u00adment). <\/p>\n\n

Pub\u00adlic pro\u00adcure\u00adment law in accor\u00addance with Part 4 of the Act against Restraints of Com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion (GWB) only applies if the net con\u00adtract val\u00adue reach\u00ades or exceeds these EU-wide stan\u00addard\u00adized thresh\u00adolds. <\/p>\n\n

Del\u00ade\u00adgat\u00aded Reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtions (EU) 2025\/2150, 2025\/2151 and 2025\/2512 of Octo\u00adber 22, 2025 set the fol\u00adlow\u00ading val\u00adues, which are bind\u00ading for all pro\u00adce\u00addures from 01.01.2026.<\/p>\n\n

Con\u00adclu\u00adsion for prac\u00adtice<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

For con\u00adtract\u00ading author\u00adi\u00adties, the low\u00ader\u00ading of the thresh\u00adolds means that even low\u00ader con\u00adtract amounts may trig\u00adger an EU-wide ten\u00adder\u00ading oblig\u00ada\u00adtion in future. For con\u00adstruc\u00adtion con\u00adtracts in the sec\u00adtor in par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar, the val\u00adue will fall sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant\u00adly by EUR 144,000. <\/p>\n\n
