On 23 October 2025, the new thresholds were published in the Official Journal of the EU, which will apply from 1 January 2026.
Once the respective threshold is reached, a Europe-wide procurement procedure must be conducted. The EU thresholds for procurement law are adjusted every two years. The new thresholds therefore apply until 31 December 2027.
| Type of Contract | Type of Contract | Previous Threshold (until 31.12.2025) |
| Works contracts | 5.404.000 EUR | 5.538.000 EUR |
| Works contracts (sectoral contracting entities) | 5.404.000 EUR | 5.538.000 EUR |
| Works contracts (defence/security) | 5.404.000 EUR* | 5.538.000 EUR* |
| Supply/services (central government authorities) | 140.000 EUR | 143.000 EUR |
| Supply/services | 216.000 EUR | 221.000 EUR |
| Supply/services (sectoral contracting entities) | 432.000 EUR | 443.000 EUR |
| Supply/services (defence/security) | 432.000 EUR* | 443.000 EUR* |
| Concessions | 5.404.000 EUR | 5.538.000 EUR |
For the area of procurement in defence and security, publication is still pending; however, according to the EU communication, these thresholds correspond to those for sectoral contracting entities.
