And they are lower than at moment. (just a bit)
Some people says this means more competition as more contracts will be subject to the threshold and there require competition.
WELL, given that the PA2023 increases the opportunities for
avoiding competition the lowering of the threshold is only a marginal step back
in the direction of competion.
And of course the thresholds are not actually set by the UK
government but the WTO GPA.
Given the significant inflation over the past few years this
is a significant lowering of (most of) the thresholds. I'll be interested in the response. I suspect many contracting authorities
actually would have preferred a significant increase.
