The European Commission recently set the euro thresholds for 2024 and 2025, but there is more to these figures than meets the eye. This blog post looks at the impact these thresholds will have on companies and contracting authorities at both European and national level. We also shed light on hidden opportunities in procurement procedures and provide practical tips for maximising the chances of being awarded a contract.

In public tenders, proposal management encounters what are called ‘thresholds’. In public procurement law, the threshold values define the boundary between EU-wide tenders and national tenders. In 2019 in Germany, for example, the federal ministries opened over 1,200 EU-wide tenders that had a total value of €5 billion. In my blog post, I will give you a glimpse into the world of thresholds, as they were adjusted on 1 January 2022 and will remain valid for two years.
