Proposed Changes to the Scottish Procurement Thresholds For Lower-Value Contracts

10 Nov 2026

The Scottish Government has announced plans to increase certain thresholds within the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, helping to make public procurement quicker, simpler and more proportionate for lower-value contracts.

If approved by Parliament, the threshold for goods and services contracts will increase from £50,000 to £100,000, while the threshold for works contracts will increase from £2 million to £4 million.

The changes are expected to come into force on 1 April 2027.
