Extension of the threshold for exemption from prior advertising and competitive tendering
Publié le 24 janvier 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
The implementation of the threshold for exemption from prior advertising and competitive tendering for works contracts has just been extended until 31 December 2025. Explanations.
Introduced in 2023, the possibility for works contracts to be exempted from advertising and competitive tendering was extended by decree until the end of 2025.
In order to benefit from this exemption, the estimated value of the contract must be less than €100,000 excluding taxes (excluding tax).
Exemption also concerns lots relating to work for which the amount is less than €100,000 HT. However, the aggregate amount of such lots shall not exceed 20 % of the total estimated value of all lots.
Finally, the buyer must:
- choose a ‘relevant offer’;
- make good use of public funds;
- avoid systematically choosing the same economic operator when there are several offers that could meet the need.
