Public sector procurement is currently agreed at EU level. The EU Public Contracts Directive – transposed into UK law by the UK Public Contracts Regulations and the Public Contracts Regulations (Scotland) – sets out detailed requirements for all stages of the procurement process. This includes how contract opportunities are advertised.

It is mandatory for public sector contracting authorities to adhere to these regulations. However, tenderers should also be aware of advertising thresholds.
