  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations make amendments to the Procurement Act 2023 (“the Act”) to update certain financial thresholds, which govern the procedures for the award of public contracts for goods, works and services. These amendments follow a review of relevant thresholds to ensure they continue to correspond with the relevant thresholds laid down in the World Trade Organisation’s Agreement on Government Procurement (“GPA”).\nRegulation 2(2) amends the threshold amounts set out in section 85(3) of the Act which determine the applicability of certain procedures to regulated below-threshold works contracts. Owing to an oversight when the thresholds were previously updated via S.I. 2025/163, section 85(3) was not updated to reflect the changes made to Schedule 1 to the Act. The thresholds are therefore now updated to be consistent with the thresholds in rows 11 and 12 of Schedule 1 to the Act (which are also being amended by these Regulations) as these were intended to align.\nRegulation 2(3) amends the majority of the threshold amounts set out in Schedule 1 to the Act. Those thresholds determine the value above which contracts of different types fall to be regulated by the substantive regime. The threshold amounts in rows 4, 6 and 9 to 12 are set under the GPA. The threshold amounts in rows 1 to 3 do not derive from the GPA but are amended to ensure consistency and alignment with the GPA thresholds.\nThe amendments made by these Regulations do not apply to contracts regulated by the Welsh Ministers. Welsh Ministers are making a separate statutory instrument to update the thresholds as they apply to those contracts.\nA full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.",
