Government Tender

[Mark.S]

Bit of a shot in the dark but...

Does anyone know the price limit beyond which government agencies are required to go to tender for a software development project?

I remember a figure of approx £140,000 being mentioned somewhere but can't be sure.

I have a feeling it is much lower than that, we have been involved in tenders for the £20k mark where we were just making up the numbers.

Not that I'm bitter or anything.

What sort of Government?

£140k-odd (just over IIRC) is the figure for local Government being obligated to go to tender (unless they buy from GCat).

[Mark.S]

Thanks chaps.

Its local government in this case. Fingers crossed!

Depends on where the funding is coming from.

>€100k for EU and it has to be full OJEC'd (unless it goes through a framework that has a mini-tender section in it, GCAT is NOT one of those)
>£104435 for anything EXCEPT building work
>£4,016,744 for buildings

Top man, thank you.

Pleasure (and given goverment procurement is my job I'd be fired if I didn't know that!)
