It also works in conjunction with other tender portals, like Contracts Finder and MOD systems, and with other subsidiary portals like Tender Pipeline. The tender portals for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will also remain as they are. If you are looking for above threshold tenders, then FTS in the portal you need.
Tender Pipeline users will not be affected by these changes- customers can still continue to use the portal as normal. If, over the lifetime of a contract or a framework, the spend on said contract equals or exceeds the current thresholds, it must legally follow the OJEU Compliant Route to Market- this could mean advertisement via OJEU.
These thresholds are not subject to review or change until January , so thresholds will remain largely the same as the usual, EU figures for now. Supply, Service and Design contracts. They are also excluding VAT. This means that the changes to the thresholds will be minimal.

The UK stopped being a member of the European Union on 31 January and entered a transition period — which is currently expected to end no sooner than 31 December During the transition period, buyers in the UK continue to have to send their contract notices for publication in the OJEU.
During the transition periodno significant change in public procurement process. When the transition period ends, changes to the rules and processes governing public procurement are possible — though the core principles of transparency, market engagement and SME involvement are likely to be amplified rather than reduced. OJEU procurement is governed by an elaborate set of regulations, all designed to create a fair, standard and transparent set of rules applicable to every country in the EU, and to the UK at least until the end of the transition period.
Public sector buyers are legally required to comply with these regulations. All public sector contracts worth over a specified value threshold must be sent to the OJEU. When a buyer decides to undertake a procurement buy something that has to be advertised in the OJEU, they have to follow one of a set of procurement procedures. The Public Contracts Regulations set out the procedures, each of which consists of a set of steps that must be followed by both buyers and suppliers.
Each procedure has a different process. We list each of the five most common OJEU procedure below and how they work. Great for beginners, the open procedure is the only one stage process. Bidders are expected to complete the selection criteria and the tender at the same time and submit them by the required time and date as specified in the documentation.
The restricted procedure has two stages. This time the SQs are evaluated first,after which the buyer will invite a minimum of five contractors to respond to the Invitation to Tender ITT by submitting a full tender by a set deadline. After the ITT stage, the buying authority will evaluate the responses and the contract will be awarded to the successful bidder.
