The Contract Award Notice is a public announcement of the outcome of a public procurement exercise in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).
The publication of a Contract Award Notice is mandatory for ALL procurement exercises exceeding the value of the EU advertising threshold, including those that did not require full advertising at the outset of the process e.g. Social and Other Specific Services, also known as ‘Light Touch Regime contracts. The notice must be published within 30 days of the contract award date.
The notice can be submitted using SIMAP or an alternative site (Check with your Procurement Department) and will include the following details:
The notice should not include any commercially confidential information such as pricing.
In exceptional circumstances, a Contracting Authority may choose to publish an award notice for a contract with a value below the EU advertising threshold e.g. if the market is particularly competitive and/or there was a significant initial interest in the contract opportunity. However it is recommended that the Procurement Officer exercises caution if considering this option. Please note: - The award will also require publication in Contracts Finder in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015
