Aggregation rules for establishing whether or not value exceeds
relevant threshold
Where a single work involves more than one contract the
estimated value of all contracts must be aggregated to decide
whether the threshold is reached. Where the threshold is reached
each of the works contracts will be covered by the rules except
small contracts (known as small lots) the value of which falls
below the de minimis level provided for in the regulations.
In determining whether the threshold has been or is likely to be
reached for public supplies and services contracts the rules
require aggregation:
- Of the estimated value of separate contracts for meeting a
single requirement; and
- In particular defined circumstances, where a series of
contracts or a renewable contract is entered into for
supplies/services of the same type during a twelve-month
period.
Where a public authority is divided into a number of discrete
operational units with devolved authority to decide independently
whether to enter into procurement contracts, then aggregation need
only be applied to each unit. In other cases (i.e. where authority
is not devolved) the public authority as a whole must be considered
for aggregation purposes.
