Procurement procedures & contracts

NS&I must follow the European Public Contracts Directive (2004/18/EC) which applies to public authorities including, amongst others, government departments, local authorities and NHS Authorities and Trusts. The Directive set out detailed procedures for the award of contracts whose value equals or exceeds specific thresholds. Details of the thresholds, applying from 1st January 2008 are given as £90,319 for supplies and services and £3,497,313 for works. Thresholds are net of VAT.

Internally within NS&I, we have set a threshold of £75,000 at which we competitive tender and advertise through OJEU. OJEU stands for the Official Journal of the European Union (previously called OJEC - the Official Journal of the European Community). This is the publication in which all contracts from the public sector which are valued above a certain financial threshold according to EU legislation, must be published. These can be accessed online at www.tendersdirect.co.uk. A charge will be applicable for accessing this information.

Below the OJEU thresholds, NS&I conduct either a formal or informal tender process. These thresholds have been agreed with NS&I’s internal auditors.

A list of NS&I contractors with a contract value of £90,000 or more can be accessed here.
