Following the close of the consultation, the Scottish Government analysed the responses provided to determine next steps.I will shortly lay a draft instrument which would increase the threshold from which contracts for goods and services are regulated by the Act from £50,000 to £100,000, and increase the threshold from which works contracts are regulated from £2 million to £4 million. The community benefits threshold will be maintained at £4 million.
