Public procurement update
In January 2024, the Scottish Government issued updates to the procurement thresholds as detailed in the table below.
Please note that this does not change the processes that must be followed when undertaking procurements for the organisation as set out in the Standing Orders of East Lothian Council.
*The next review of GPA thresholds will be January 2026
If you have any questions about the thresholds, or any other aspect of procuring goods and services, please contact the Procurement team.
