The answer

Answered by Ivan McKee on 29 Oct 2026 · 1 day after it was lodged, on time

Between October 2025 and January 2026, the Scottish Government ran a public consultation seeking views on amending the thresholds within the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (the Act). 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.
